Hearing them leave Cadillac towards Clare approximately 1230.

395,385,392 were North through Alma around 12:30 today

396 and 399 left Cadillac for Clare at 1110. Looks like night crew ran to TC last night.

GLC 392&393 ran to Middleton over night,May have went ZFS also. Seen them coming back into Owosso at 6am this morning.

As of the typing of this text GLC’s CNTN is on duty working in Selma Yard, most likely a northbound run to Petoskey today as they haven’t gone north in some time. 396 will lead 399, unsure of the car count. Will update later.

**Correction, Tufford Yard**

***Train length is roughly 20 cars***

**** Clear Missauke Jct (MP 336)****

***** Clear Manton (MP 344) *****

4 units at the Ithaca bean plant. I only see cars for them 1705

Looks like AANR videoed them several times going north. Are all the short and long covered hoppers loaded are some empty being used as spacers?

They are all loads. Spacers are no longer needed for the Manistee River bridge. To the best of my knowledge the bridge replacement will not be happening. At least not any time soon.

They made a TC run today. Not sure what the engines are, but I can hear them passing the Career Tech Center. 12:47

I didn't hear or see them myself today. I had seen gravel and sand pushed out of the flange tracks on some of the Traverse City crossings Sunday afternoon, thought they had already been thru.

Past Career Tech again at 14:42. That’s a perk of working here for sure!

A fine video from Todd Feldpausch.
Starting at around the 13 minute mark Todd details GLC's lumber customers. The two Weyerhaeuser lumber loads in the video are for Biewer. Biewer sends out quite a few loads but receiving lumber is either a first or rare event for them.

OSTN was NB thru Durand at 07:10 - they cleared at 08:21 after having some sort of issue. 393/392/383/382 was the NB power. Big pickup from CSX overnight as well as NS/AA

396 and 399 left Cadillac for Clare approximately 1030. They also worked Kalkaska yesterday.

396 and 399 leaving Cadillac shortly before 1100.

395&390 brought in a unit grain train from NS via AA early this morning to Middleton. MAC is currently loading the first few car's,power is currently in Perrinton not running.

I think it’s Perrinton or did it get changed recently?
