Last night, I drove by GRE’s yard at Ann St at 8:20pm and I didn’t see a lot of cars sitting in the yard. Maybe around 10 ish, couldn’t see very well due to the trees

ADBF 823 LHF sb across Willow Street light power at 10:30 heading to Saginaw Yard and possibly CN.
They dropped some cars at CSX Ensel and I could see 2 boxcars but I don’t know what else.

Sounds like JAIL is probably doing a daylight run from Mason to Jackson tomorrow. Usually on duty around 8 am.

Re: Shortline Train Location Updates - June 2024
It is not. Power is sitting at the shop, doesn't seem to be a train on the main. My guess would be, either they'll run up to RSDC first, or pick up cars at the box plant/transload south of town.OldBastard wrote: ↑Fri Jun 21, 2024 5:56 pmIs it staged in Mason and ready to go south already?Dan Cluley wrote: ↑Fri Jun 21, 2024 4:48 pmSounds like JAIL is probably doing a daylight run from Mason to Jackson tomorrow.

One of the crew guys mentioned on Thursday that they were working Sat, but I didn't get any details

GRE yard is full. At least 2 loaded lumber cars, the remainder are hoppers. If no EB today, tomorrow will be busy for the GRE.
