Wow, that is a big train, but 5 loco's .

Michigan shore railroad all lined up at the bridge at 11:20pm, south through grand haven 11:30 with 17 from Lincoln Nugent, 8 from Barry and 3 from either Webb or brinks (not sure which, probably Webb). This made for a nice total of 28 cars for Waverly. 3885 was leading 2019

18:25 GDLK SWITCHING SAND LOADING OUTFIT NORTH OF 28TH ST

[AANscaleRunner]

GLC 398 (?) returns to Cadillac from Clare at 1540 with 2 hoppers (assuming they are coke), 1 plastics hopper, 7 sand hoppers, 1 centerbeam and 1 boxcar. Too far away to make out the loco number clearly. Did not see them leave town this morning.

Locos were spotted outside the shops most of yesterday, assuming they did not run. Possible TC run tomorrow since Selma Yard now has 2 centerbeams and a boxcar?

[cnw8835]

GDLK303 south out of GR at 1639. Both WSOR units for power with 89 cars.

[James Sofonia]

Possible TC run tomorrow since Selma Yard now has 2 centerbeams and a boxcar?

Thanks for the heads up, but I won't be able to watch this one go by, I will be traveling to Ohio tomorrow.
There is a nice soup and sandwich shop at the TC train station with outside picnic tables just a few feet from the track. Perfect for the midday GLC runs and lunch. I hope to catch the next one.
