Re: Michigan Shortlines June 2015
HESR just completed a pickup in Owosso with a RailAmerica paint #3867. Amazing and crazy loud RS3L. My jaw dropped... in and out in about 20 minutes with 3 boxcars.

Not 100% sure, but believe GLC ran north out of Cadillac today.

Looks like the choo-choo is in TC again today (very fresh flange marks across Woodmere Ave next to the depot).AANscaleRunner wrote:Not 100% sure, but believe GLC ran north out of Cadillac today.

Re: Michigan Shortlines June 2015
MMRR 2019 took those boxes to Bay and came back north with 1 box. I passed them along BUS 31 and Getty headed south and saw them come back north about 30 minutes later. They stopped at Hackley just before the switch. I didn't hear anything go south to holland yet.EWRice wrote:Michigan Shore 2019 just rolled past the Mart Dock in Muskegon with two box cars.

Re: Michigan Shortlines June 2015
MMRR south at the Bridge at 9:20. No visual on them, But Last night they had 4 Sand cars from Berry, 3 tanks from webb and 1 Box in North yard. I am guessing this is the consist for today since they didn't run yesterday.
Re: Michigan Shortlines June 2015

Re: Michigan Shortlines June 2015
No morning updates on the GRE since the City of GR has closed the intersection of Ann & Turner for a week. (The City has messed with my 2.3 mile commute thru that intersection every year for the last 5 years. No more street to tear up there for a while LOL).
Koppers (Osmose) is working on the Grand River bridge this week. GRE is working today and will give the C&M 2 center beams on Monday.

Re: Michigan Shortlines June 2015
It's still accessible via Alpine. 2 Centerbeams loaded and 3 CHs sitting on the interchange track. No sign of them opening up as of 0950
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.
