Nothing into TC as of 1pm, with exception on MOW working near the north switch of the Boardman yard runaround.Maybe TC bound because they had 2 gons for beacon and they had loaded ones ready for pick up

No, I could only see the truck from 14th Street both times I went across the tracks (about 15 minutes apart).TC railman wrote:Did you happen to see what they where doing?TC Man wrote:Nothing into TC as of 1pm, with exception on MOW working near the north switch of the Boardman yard runaround.Maybe TC bound because they had 2 gons for beacon and they had loaded ones ready for pick up

Re: GLC Updates July 2018
I see today driving by the soy bean plant in Ithaca they are in the process of connecting the tracks. Currently installing the culvert.
Re: GLC Updates July 2018
That would make 4 gons and a lumber load to to to Traverse City. I'm betting Tuesday for a TC run. And 6 loads waiting to be picked up at Beacon plus an empty at Amerhart.AANscaleRunner wrote:396 and 390 return to Cadillac with 16 cars. Possible gon for Beacon in the consist.
