Michigan shore railroad tied down tonights southbound train between Laketon ave. and Hackley street at 2:30 this afternoon. Power was cut and they dragged an empty hopper over to henry street where they also put the power in the barn.
Power was MMRR 2057 and MMRR 2019. Unless changes are made, this will likely be the lash-up for tonights southbound as well.
Tonights southbound will have 1 box for bay (also 1 for pickup at bay), 13 sand cars from barry, 7 from Fremont and 3 tanks from Webb. 24 total for holland tonight.

The GRE went east with 8 CHs and one tank car this morning. They dropped the tank at Amway and then headed to Lowell. Nothing at King to pick up, so I assume they returned light.

GLC 395 and 397 left Cadillac yesterday at 0935 with 5 coke hoppers, 1 sand hopper, 1 tank car and 5 more sand hoppers. They returned sometime around 1500. Sounded like they made a run to Yuma around 1530.
GLC left Cadillac today at 0850. They returned at 1600 with 3 coke hoppers, 20 sand hoppers, 2 tank cars, 1 plastics hopper, 1 flat of poles and 9 tie hoppers. Too far away to read loco numbers.

GLC just passed Holiday rd. Traverse city heard the horns. Presumably headed back to Cadillac. The watch dogs in Cadillac didn't catch this one to give us TC guys a heads up. Appreciated when you guys do. Thanks.

Heard them leave Cadillac heading north around 0945-1000. If they are in TC this late, they probably hit Kalkaska also.Pixl wrote:GLC just passed Holiday rd. Traverse city heard the horns.

Heard GLC leaving Traverse City (Keystone Road) after 6:30pm last night. That's a late evening in TC (though this last month, it's been fairly common).AANscaleRunner wrote:Heard them leave Cadillac heading north around 0945-1000.

GLC 390 and 392 left Cadillac towards Clare at 1040 with 4 grain hoppers, 4 empty tie hoppers, 1 empty tie gondola, 5 sand hoppers and 10 tank cars.
GLC 39? and 397 returned to Cadillac at 1445 with 2 loaded centerbeams and 44 sand hoppers. Couldn't read first loco number.
Was good to see two 35's running together up here. And heard them last night on the north end around 2000.
