Nothing new on this chunk of rail. About 3 years ago I was redoing a parking lot at the school north of the line and in rolled Hulcher. They unloaded and built their side booms out on Center rd where it is 3 lanes. They then tracked the quarter mile south to head about 700 feet west of the grade to put 3 cars back on the rails.

Update, went by today. Contractor Rail Services/Shaw Contracting out of Bay City has built a road to the wreck site, and cars are currently being emptied.
