Hearing them leave Cadillac towards Clare at 1050.
Back into Cadillac at 1155 with around 25 cars. Looked like 399 and 396 is the current power from what I could see through the fog.

15:05 - GLC backing the end of their train into the transfer at Ann Pere. L305 had been waiting for them today.
15:46 - Southbound thru Chilson at Brighton Rd.
I wouldn't have seen them at all today, or in the last few weeks, without your updates GLC@ZLT, so thank you from me as well!

It's unusual that they don't have any old railroad tie gondolas today.

Poles have gone to Hydrolake wood treatment plant in McBain. They are a very old and steady customer going back to the TSBY days.
