CSX GRE MQT Train Location Update 4-1-08
Two unit coal trains at the old GRI North yard waiting to go north 1 to the new power plant at Ludington, the other is for Tondu in Manistee. Power on one is new BNSF run thru, the other has Greinsteins. The 24 is out of the house, lights on and the crew is home. They have a half dozen Kings and an Amway or Precison Poly to spot. They have to wait until the the Rapid dispatcher finds room for them between the Ada-GR morning commuter "scoot's". Nothing from the NS, the tank and empty centerbeam are still on the outbound.

Raildude's Dad, you forgot the ferry traffic MQT will be taking to Ludington today. Ferry service is starting up today from Ludington to WI after a 15+ year hiatis. Mike H and those guys at MQT are hard at work drumming up new business.
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...

I've seen wide cabs plenty of times on that line in the past, but for some reason the thought of seeing one now just seems really odd.
