Great Lakes Central Updates November 2016
GLC passed over Holiday Rd on their way to Amerihart about 1115. I managed to catch up with them at Lautner Rd. but no time to get the camera out. It was 396 pulling one loaded centerbeam so no "10th Anniversary" loco for me.
Re: Great Lakes Central Updates November 2016
I thought 393 was the 10th anniversary loco anyway (not 396)?

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates November 2016
I only heard them at first as my house is over a mile from the crossing, so I didn't know what I was chasing till I caught them well past Acme. A`shot of 393 would have been a nice catch up this far North, but not today.TC Man wrote:I thought 393 was the 10th anniversary loco anyway (not 396)?
Re: Great Lakes Central Updates November 2016
Gotcha! I thought you were hinting that 393 (the 10th anniversary unit) was in TC. I would have gone after that one for you. Wonder if they took back the 4 empties today.

Empties from Amerihart are spotted behind Family Video in North Yard this evening. The three ballast hoppers stored by the snow plow were getting some work done on them today. Also heard a run to Selma Yard and back between 1430-1500. Anxiously waiting for 393 to make its way past Clare.

I'll be chasing the ONTN from Owosso to Clare and back (in theory). Will try to update on what the power is and when they leave. I'm hoping they meet in Clare

I had good intentions, but they went south and I couldn't log in on my phone.
