I was passing by, I'm back in lansing now. I couldn't tell if it was nb or sb. I'd guess nb because their train was on the main east of bagley.

I'm guessing a supply issue, as the demand is there. The place looks empty (well, figuratively speaking).Pixl wrote: ↑Fri Jul 31, 2020 3:42 pmWow, I can't believe there was no lumber for AmerihartKingsleyRailFan wrote: ↑Fri Jul 31, 2020 10:28 amNB thru Kingsley at 10:20.

Re: Great Lakes Central updates July 2020
Confirmed. I went thru the Amerihart yard yesterday, just saw a lot of floor joists and other structural lumber products, but almost no dimensional bare lumber or stacks of plywood. Weeds are growing in the siding tracks.TC Man wrote: ↑Fri Jul 31, 2020 3:45 pmI'm guessing a supply issue, as the demand is there.

I might try to go out and catch them if they make a run next week. There's a few crossings in Kingsley I have to film and catch a train at.
