Great Lakes Central south through Mount Pleasant 4:45pm
GLC 390
GLC 396
2 white GATX tanks
1 hopper
5 TSBY hoppers
1 empty center beam
1 plastics hopper
7 coke empties
16 mixed tanks (mostly LPG)
33 total for Owosso
The first 3 cars on the northbound were also on the southbound. I was hopeful the light would hold out for a good shot of them on this beautiful November afternoon! Unfortunately, per my usual luck, it didn't. Hopefully we can still squeeze a few nice days in before winter decides to make its appearance!

Returned to Cadillac at 1800. Too dark to see what came in. Probably most of what csx801 seen earlier today.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates November 2016
I like your reports AANR and csx801
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...
Re: Great Lakes Central Updates November 2016
I agree....like the GLC posts. I know people who go to CMU in Mt. Pleasant so I like the reports lately with a Mt. Pleasant viewpoint.AARR wrote:I like your reports AANR and csx801

Heard them on the north end of Cadillac around 1000, haven't heard them since. Assuming they are northbound.

Box car and loaded center beam for Traverse City (Amerhart- Williamsburg). They also have 2 empty center beam cars to pick up when they drop these 2 off.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates November 2016
Per my wife yesterday who saw GLC in Traverse City: "The train was in town and it looks like they have a new engine that they only had time to paint the front half- the back looks like it only got primed and lettered".
LOL!!
