How much of GLC is still stick rail? It’s weird to me seeing such modern locos on stick rail.

A fourth unit train has been on the siding in Dundee. 90 cars for Oakley. Corn. It’s got the juice.

329/385/383 were NB into Durand around 12:55 earlier today. They had been stuck south of Ann Pere due to some fallen trees.blueheron13 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 25, 2023 9:05 pmGLC SB through Durand at 20:31 on 08/25. 399, 382, and 329. Took headroom on the Port Huron Wye before departing.
They’ve got a grain train at Osmer waiting for them to take to Oakley and another one sitting in Toledo.
