Marquette Rail Z151 is at Turner St in GR awaiting a crew which should arrive shortly. Meanwhile, there is some activity over at the GRE, however there hasn’t been any movement yet and the engine is still in the barn.
08:10: GRE has two eastbound lights at Fuller to assemble their train, and Z151 now has a crew. We’ll see which train crosses first.
08:18: MQT Z151 has their EC1 for CGE 3.6 to SAS Fuller
08:50: GRE EB at Fuller Jct
08:52: MQT SB at Fuller Jct

GRE at Lowell at 10:41. No cars to be seen at King, unless they’re all shoved north of M21. Only four coming in today on the train.
Also, King has lived up to its mission to keep taking over more and more of Lowell...several new silos and buildings that weren’t here a few years ago!

There were 14 empty wheaties stashed between the Flat and Grand a River bridges where I couldn’t see them. Work almost done, they’ll be heading west for Fuller Jct shortly.

GRE was at Leonard & Plainfield, MQT was at Leonard & Seward. One needs a special lens for that

Per a report in the field, Michigan Shore is currently in Fremont at the Co-op. I do not know the amount of cars or the locomotive or even the direction but they are in Fremont. At this point I'm only trying to figure out when they come up.
***Sounds like they came up light engine only and there are no cars at the Co-op so I am confused as to their intentions.

IIRC they service two lumber companies in Fremont. Both are relatively new.
