No TC runs recently. I'd hope a big one is coming up.
Consistently confused

I must've missed them. That's really odd - I'm alongside the tracks all day.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates: October 2020
There was another time you mentioned they have not been to TC in a long while when I saw them in TC the day before and someone else even got video. They are sneaky!

Yes they are sneaky. I crossed the tracks three times Wed. and walked my dog on the TART Trail next to Amerihart. No trains to be seen for me.
Re: Great Lakes Central Updates: October 2020
Someone posted a pic of them on the glc fan Facebook page headed to TC on the Manistee River bridge. 398 or 396 I think was leading northbound.

From the other board.
Based on the number of carloads Petoskey Plastics receives annually (about 120) it seems GLC goes to Petoskey about every two weeks.

Those coal cars from the Reading and Northern loaded with what i presume is coal must be going to Zilwaukee because i went over the Zilwaukee Bridge on Monday and sure enough there was two fairly large piles of coal in the old Anderson Stone docks right by the tracks on the HESR this is interchanged from the GLC at Durand.

Left Cadillac for Clare shortly before 1600. I followed to Mcbain. Full length video of the chase. Only had my phone so it's shaky at times.

It appears the spur into Biewer Sawmill has been extended. Looks like they at least doubled the length and possibly added lights. Couldn't really see too much from a distance.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates: October 2020
Thank you. I got lucky with this one. I was out of town until about half an hour before they came into town. I'm glad I caught them.

It's nice that you caught them switching the industrial spur
