cadillac report
I went to Cadillac today and found the yard packed with cars. Mostly sand cars from what I could see. Two GP-35s were building a train of cement cars, tank cars and pole cars. heading north to Manton Kalkaska and Elmira. 394 took the train north by its self and I think had to double a hill south of manton. They left Cadillac with the full train, but showed up in manton with just pole cars. Then headed back south to pick up the tankers and hoppers. The other 35 stayed behind.
Two GATX GP-38's were by the engine house and I noticed they were in the process of adding on to the engine house. Mabey to hold two engines during the winter? This was the most activity I have seen in Cadillac in quite awhile.

Here is a short video of the train passing Gilbert, just south of Manton. With only four flat cars in tow the rest of the train is waiting somewere to the south. Sorry about the poor quality video. I only have a small point and shoot digital with a video feature. Thought I would give it a try.

I enjoyed the video, KVERBERK. Nice sound. Did you say they had 35 cars for the trip north of Cadillac?

The pole place in Manton ships about 4-5 a week or so from what I've heard.
