Good morning and happy August! I’m hoping they go North to TC or Petoskey/Elmira this morning.

Through as in north toward Petoskey, or as in northwest to TC?
Not that I can check them out from here in Charlottesville, VA. Though I did see a Buckingham Branch Railroad train earlier.

Possible northbound to Petoskey today. Heard them moving around 30 minutes ago, nothing since.
Edit: Sounded like northbound at 1000.
Edit: Ran as far as Kalkaska. Back into Cadillac at 1545.

So GLC pulled a long cut of LPG tank cars from Yuma today. Where will they be going?

My son just moved into his dorm right next to the tracks at CMU today. Says he can currently hear a train approaching campus. Not sure yet which direction it is headed, thinks it is northbound.

Per the Borg, there appears to be a GLC run to Traverse City on Monday scheduled to go to Williamsburg to deliver some hot lumber cars.

Thanks for the heads up. We have been waiting for a load of lumber to get started on the new house as well as seeing a train for the first time in over a month.

Over a month? GLC was in TC on August 5th with lumber and picked up loads at Beacon.
