Confirmed. I was trackside in Durand Sunday the 6th and saw the light engines go south about 12:30pm, and return north with the two wide loads about 3:20pm.AARR wrote:I believe the equipment loads were picked up from AnnPere yesterday (Sunday).AANscaleRunner wrote:399 and 398 returned at 1425 with 5 tie loads, 3 tanks, 1 idler flat, 1 equipment load, 1 idler flat and a second equipment load.

Just stating the facts- there are pine trees growing between the rails, and no new signals on the Grawn branch- not sure why you are biting my head off? And not sure what the droid comment even means?Pixl wrote:Whatever. Move along. These aren't the droids you are looking for.TC Man wrote:

Sorry, no nasties intended here. Sometimes the typed word conveys the wrong meaning. I accept your statement about the trees, and wish I had looked more closely.TC Man wrote:Just stating the facts- there are pine trees growing between the rails, and no new signals on the Grawn branch- not sure why you are biting my head off?

The droids is a quote right out of the 1977 Star Wars movie. Somebody help me explain here.

It is a quote from the first Star Wars movie. Doesn't sound like there was harmful intent there.

Left Cadillac for Clare at 0920, no chance to see them.
Just heard them in Selma Yard, no chance to see them return to town either.

What's the power been lately for Owosso-Clare and back runs? I'm going to try to catch them on Wednesday.

Similarly, 396 and 395 left Owosso for Clare around 10:00 this morning. I chased them as far as Alma, they may well be back by now.

Had not returned as of 1530. Too much snow up here to see them anyhow.

Heard them in Cadillac around 0845 and again around 1000. They either headed north or stayed in town.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates December
They must have been up here in TC, I saw fresh tracks in the snow today, but missed the train. They went on to Willamsburg. Any one else see them?

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates December
Left Cadillac at 0940 with 1 empty bulkhead flat, 1 tank, 1 pole load for McBain and 3 tanks.
Returned at 1510 with 3 feed hoppers, 4 pole loads, 1 plastics hopper and 2 tanks.
Looked like 398 and 399 on both trips.
