Re: Michigan Shortlines Updates January 2015
CSX picked up a large cut of empties from the GRE and left a handful of inbounds. 3 outbounds for GDLK. No crew at 6:45. I heard the other day that the sand from Berry Junction is foundry sand. Frac sand is supplied from the Lincoln St location
Re: Michigan Shortlines Updates January 2015
Michigan Shore railroad Z627-27 should have had 3885 and 2057 for power tonight. They made it by while i was out, however they should have had 1 from fremont, a short cut from berry and a cut of tanks (i was unable to get close enough to see where from) making for about 10 to 15 cars. I didn't see if there was any work for them at bay logistics either. The afternoon crew finished their work around 1:30 and dragged the assembled train to the switch at Hackley street in Muskegon. They tied down there and took the power to the barn off henry street for the afternoon. I caught them by surprise crossing laketon ave at 1:20 this afternoon.
Fracking must have slowed again, lots of stored sand cars are filling both North yard and Henry street yard. to add to that, Lincoln has not shipped in almost a week.

GLC came up thru Traverse city today. Didn't get to see them, just fresh tracks in the new snow at 1300. Maybe they are still up at Bates.
