Re: Shortline Updates May 2023
The flat has been spotted on the main just west of King on the other side of the main road. The 2104 is shut down as well. Looks like it will be staying here until the transformer is unloaded.
**Looks like Lowell Light and Power is receiving the car. Their personnel are on site and it appears as though the car will be unloaded today.

Re: Shortline Updates May 2023
At 6:50 they're in Plainwell. I think they still have to work Otsego since I didn't see anything on the Otsego line. My view was, however, partially obstructed by vegetation.
Trails to Rails. Put the track back.
