Shortline Updates December 2020
I realize this is late, but Grand Elk made a trip down the old Hasting's Secondary this morning, WAMX 4190 and 1 loaded centerbeam for L&W supply. Watched them use the runaround for the first time (for me) at the end of the line.

They lead engine first down the secondary to the Steelcase area, ran around their centerbeam, and then spotted it at L&W? Doh... that would have been nice to catch on a sunny morning like this.

Re: Shortline Updates December 2020
Only 6 hoppers in Lowell this weekend.
Re: Shortline Updates December 2020
A boatload of them on the interchange track at Fuller. Not sure if they're empties or loads. Plus a string of about 10 on 2 track in the yard.

Re: Shortline Updates December 2020
Lowell has 25 or 30 hoppers around King today. A lot of AEX; one car number: 023708.
Re: Shortline Updates December 2020
Crap ton at the interchange track at Fuller. Looks like GLDK has a huge pick up when the Z739 comes later tonight, if those are even GDLK cars.Plannerdad wrote: ↑Mon Dec 07, 2020 6:37 pmLowell has 25 or 30 hoppers around King today. A lot of AEX; one car number: 023708.
