Re: Great Lakes Central Updates: January 2021
There was an off-white DOW tank car in the consist. I think that may have come from Renosol in Farwell. Seems like a few more tank cars from here should show up in the consists every week.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates: January 2021
There are a couple cars of cement there.
I wonder if they have the crews have to be careful sorting the black tank cars between Cadillac (inbound loads) and Kalkaska (outbound butane). It must be challenging from the ground telling where each tank car goes.

Either GLC is/was in TC tonight, or a high rail through the mainline South Airport crossing. Fresh flange marks...

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates: January 2021
I have a feeling there coming to Traverse City tomorrow. Wednesday night there was a truck crew in tc plowing the crossings. The crew brought 3 gons to beacon around 12 am to tc last Friday. Seen the cars there the other day. The gons at Beacon Recycling are ready for pickup I think.
