LSRC/HESR/GLC/AA Updates: September 2012

HESR 740 was working down at Monitor Sugar in Bay City around 1630, with the 5492 and 2014.

Have the sugar beets started running yet?

They have been running for a few weeks. Seems like about 20 cars on the last few 740 jobs I have seen. The former plant in Carrolton has a ton of tank cars right now, so molasses is on the move too.

LSRC Z127 (NB) is by Bridgeport at 9:20pm

I take it you mean south he had two units one of the 4300's and one of the LSRC painted GP40's the power was in between Janes and Lapeer couldn't see the numbers. He had a total of 78 cars 58 cars of mixed and 20 windmill flats.

How long after arriving in flint does it take an N956 (Z144) to depart for Saginaw? I've been trying to catch one for a while now.

Heard LSRC heading north around 12:45, unsure of the power.

It had the 1174, 1171 and the 800 and 94 cars he had 75 loads of grain on the head end. The 1178 suffered a major mechanical failure back in June and has not run since. The 800 will be leading coming back north. That will be kinda nice.

Wow, they must've had only the 1174 running because they were really struggling when they came by me.

that same power will probably be on the midland train, Z118.
