Probably because no cars for TC in the north yard.AANscaleRunner wrote:Heard them northbound out of Cadillac at 0910. Most likely Petoskey way. But didn't see them.
There was/is a Beacon car in Cadillac waiting to go north (came up last Wed), another loaded at Beacon (plus switching to be done there of the TSBY hoppers), and an empty center beam at Amerhart, so I would not rule out a TC trip soon.TC railman wrote:Probably because no cars for TC in the north yard.AANscaleRunner wrote:Heard them northbound out of Cadillac at 0910.

FYI GLC must have been in TC yesterday- fresh flange marks and a missing center beam.AANscaleRunner wrote:Returned to Cadillac at 1810.

I see another load for Traverse City in that train.
Nice pics! GLC 329 and 396 are at Beacon in TC doing lots of switching.NS3322 wrote:Forgot to post this here...
Here are some photos of all the equipment at TC Beacon last week.
At least a center beam for Amerhart and an empty for Beacon, plus there were 2 loads to be picked up. Not sure if they brought any more cars up for scrapping. They were doing a lot of switching at Beacon but I was not right there (next paved crossing north as I just washed my truck). Sad to see TSBY 1994 going to the scrap line (former AA box car repainted yellow/blue by TSBY to shuttle company supplies between Owosso and Cadillac for many years). So two trips to TC this week...Pixl wrote:Thanks for the Beacon photos NS3322.
I heard them about 12 noon today in TC again. No chance to see what they brought up here.
Correction, just 329 without 396 came to Traverse City today. Both came up on Wednesday.TC Man wrote:At least a center beam for Amerhart and an empty for Beacon, plus there were 2 loads to be picked up. Not sure if they brought any more cars up for scrapping.

Maybe GLC is storing stuff in them, therefore still in use.NS3322 wrote:Will the old Ann Arbor boxcars and one old DTSL boxcar in Cadillac suffer the same fate as TSBY #1994?
