Signal maintainer working on the South Airport (Grawn Branch crossing) bright and early at 8am this morning. Could not tell if it was a GLC truck (it was white with a topper and roof rack) or a contractor like National Signal (not sure if they have their own signal people).

After a few hours of switching 398 and 395 left Cadillac for McBain with 9 wood chip hoppers and 3 tie loads. Returned at 1320.
I didn't see or hear them yesterday, assuming they went north before 0900.

I am not sure when Great Lakes Central snuck passed me today, but it would have had to have been after 1400. I've been trackside almost all day and have not seen them. I did see what appeared to me MofW crews working north of M-20 earlier today.
