Re: Shortline Updates May, 2021
Why did they go power light last night? Did they have a unit train to pull?

Re: Shortline Updates May, 2021
From what I’ve seen of the posts from Z sometimes they come back light power. There may just not be any cars to take back.LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Tue May 04, 2021 10:22 pmWhy did they go power light last night? Did they have a unit train to pull?

Grand elk north through Byron Center at 7:33 with hlcx 3834 , 2 other locos and about 35 cars.
I think they by with no cars just due to cars not being ready, or crew low on time, not sure.
Back south at 9:25pm with WAMX 4017, two other locos, and about 28 cars.

No work northbound at Comstock Park, Sparta or Grant. Quick stop for a crew change at Sparta, and off they went, not messing around. 54 cars, mostly tanks and covered hoppers with a few boxcars thrown in for fun. End of train was clear of Grant at 15:30.
