It is not common for them to do that. Not sure why they did that unless the PH Wye was being worked on at the time.AARR wrote: ↑Wed Jul 19, 2023 9:22 amIs it common for HESR to pull across the Durand diamond rather than use the Port Huron wye? Why do they cross it rather than use the wye?LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Mon Jul 17, 2023 2:33 pm14:15 - HESR Job 702 pulls across the diamond in Durand for head room today instead of utilizing the Port Huron Wye. 3390/3484

Grand Elk north through Byron Center at 8:01pm. WAMX 3807 LHF with 24 cars. Strange seeing them back again on a day they ran south in the morning. Maybe another crew and they'll run south again tonight, or will just tie up for the evening, who knows.
