Re: CN Updates for March 2016
It appears that CN 5942 and crew are on duty as of 17:35. Moving about in Kilgore Yard but looks like they're waiting on the Grand Elk to clear out before getting to work

This loco, an SD40-3, is "GTW 5942" as is the "Reporting Marks!!!!" This engine is still in KCS Gray (former KCS ...originally CN)—I sure like it since it is "Different!!!!"
I photographed this unit in Battle Creek, February 20th!!!!

UP action
3/4/16
Lots of Pulp wood loading at Trout lake, about 15 cars set out for Newberry. Some big Tboxes tanks and pulp boxes.
Nothing going on in Newberry
Munising had 6 pulp boxes and 4 tanks ready to be spotted.
The beer at Ore Dock brewing is as good as I remembered.
Two ore trains ran into Partridge last night back to back.
L540 came in at 2343 to swap cars and head back south.
