Re: Michigan Shortline Updates June 2013
From what I understand 302 is Pinconning to BC, 301 is BC to Pinconning. Or whatever LSRC uses for the symbol. Paul, I believe the 3826 is the one that is now the 2025, per the HESR Fan site.AARR wrote:Is 301 the train that goes to Grayling?Josh wrote:LSRC 301 left Wennona Yard in Bay City at 7:10 with 1171 and 20 cars

Ok, so 301/302 meets the Grayling south local (whatever their symbol is) on the days they come south (perhaps twice a week).Justin wrote:From what I understand 302 is Pinconning to BC, 301 is BC to Pinconning.

Re: Michigan Shortline Updates June 2013
Based on what I know, 302/301 is the BC Pinconning Turn, 303/304 is Pinconning Grayling Turn. Traffic from Bay City North Yard goes out on 301 to Pinconning, where it is divided up between the Mackinac Sub and Huron Sub, 304 would come down from Grayling interchange its traffic with what was brought up on 301 then head back north as 303. Kind of like 702/701, the even-odd numbers denote direction.Is 301 the train that goes to Grayling?

Re: Michigan Shortline Updates June 2013
It's a very pleasant surprise to catch them at an odd time. I have seen them there a few times. It would be interesting to know why they are there that early/late.KenB wrote:This morning, June 07, 2013 the Ann Arbor took me by suprise going to the Great Lakes Central interchange.
