M420W 3504
C425M 381
1 CSX Grain Car
2 Empty AOK Flatcars
15 Cement and flyash cars
This was a very strange train. The CSX grain car, I assume, came from the elevator at Johnson street, but I have never seen lumber car on the huron sub. I thought about it for a while, and realized that a lumber company in Oscoda recently started shipping by rail. I assume that the switch faces north, so the 327a picks it up, and brings it North to Alpena, where they are put on the 326 Southbound the next day.
Here is it at Franklin.

I stopped by the yard, hoping that the 325 was working. It wasn't, but there were two bowcars on the main, two farther down the main, two on the side of the roundhouse, one (or more) in the yard, and a truck loading things for Saginaw. Boy, its sure taking a LOT of work.
Here are some pictures. BTW, what railroad is MDW?

I stopped by the yard again. The 3504 was outside the roundhouse for the weekend. The boxcars were gone. There were 20 some flyash cars, 23 stone car (stored for the winter), and some flyash cars in the plant. The 020 was unloading flyash cars, like usual.
