Re: Great Lakes Central Updates November 2017
Surprised there was not any cement cars in the consist.
The gas plant, where the tank cars are going, has two tracks with five dock spots each for a total of 10 spots. There is also a long lead to the plant. So to switch more than five cars takes quite a while.

Is it still the 393 and 392 in Cadillac? Also, did it snow up there?

They went to Petoskey I believe with covered hoppers, I chased them as far as Mancelona before I headed home.
