Trails to Rails. Put the track back.

INER pulled a empty unit grain train today from NS to Reading, MI. NS 4004 was 2/2 and should lead the train out after it is loaded. Expected departure on Friday.

08:40, Macatawa Dock and Terminal Co is switching Padnos in Holland, blocking River Street while they shuffle cars. They are using their other GE centercab today, not the 04491!
Re: Shortline Updates - December 2021
Years ago I saw a white center cab unit on their property. Do they still have it and does it run?

Re: Shortline Updates - December 2021
That’s a negative. I think I read somewhere that is had a substantial failure, and aerial maps and winter observations confirmed it was stashed for a while at the of one of the northern sidings where the loaded out bounds are staged, shoved up along the fence to Pine. It’s gone and I don’t think anyone reported seeing it depart, so I think the assumption is that it was cut up on site. Which leaves the two yellow 65 tonners for MBD&T power.
The “other” unit is #30. This is the first time I’ve ever caught it. 4491 is in the usual #30 parking place between Pine and the service building in a side track. A pair of trucks are parked next to the 4491 but from the car I couldn’t tell if those are Tonner trucks or rolling stock trucks or what. This is a dreary grab with my phone after jogging up to catch it from down the block when the gates came down. Confirmed that it only has a knuckle on the west end. Looks like it’s seen it’s share of adventures along the way!

Went into Lowell and there we only 2 cars. Sounded like it might have come back again around 12:15.
