When they arrived at Amerhart, the switch was thrown and a forklift operator pushed the two empty centerbeams down the slight grade off of their spur; saving the GLC crew from having to runaround the train in Williamsburg.

Well done, CRD! I liked it a lot.
Did they back the empty center beams from Bates to Traverse City or some other way to get around them in Bates or Williamsburg?
