I took the day off from work and i have not been disappointed we had a loaded grain train off the HESR Port Huron Sub for power was the 3036 ex CMGN 9712 and the 8802 still with it's CMGN number on it, and the 3868, I didn't count the grain it looked like about 90, And HESR 702 had for power the 2027 ex NECR 3852 and the 2026 ex CMGN number 8804. He had 67 cars total. I saw these trains in Saginaw.

Re: Michigan Shortline Updates October 2013
Seeing both of these trains is worth taking a day off from work. Maybe you and I should get together sometime and railfan the Saginaw area. I'd take a day off for that!penn central wrote:I took the day off from work and i have not been disappointed we had a loaded grain train off the HESR Port Huron Sub for power was the 3036 ex CMGN 9712 and the 8802 still with it's CMGN number on it, and the 3868, I didn't count the grain it looked like about 90, And HESR 702 had for power the 2027 ex NECR 3852 and the 2026 ex CMGN number 8804.
