Re: Michigan Shortlines June
GLC southbound through Fife Lake at about 8pm tonight with 10 propane tanks and about 20 ballast cars. I think the Locos were 395 and 398.

SB GDLK switching Moline. Looks like one of the WSOR units and a wide cab. Didn't see what was leader.
19:00 update: cleared gun lake with the WSOR 4076 LHF, WAMX 4002 LHF, and about 85 cars.

HESR 2025 and 8802 were in Croswell about 12:30 this afternoon, working the sugar plant. I don't know what time they headed back north, but they were reported tied down at the engine house in Bad Axe with train later this afternoon.

Michigan shore railroad all lined up at the bridge at 11:20pm, south through grand haven 11:30 with 17 from Lincoln Nugent, 8 from Barry and 3 from either Webb or brinks (not sure which, probably Webb). This made for a nice total of 28 cars for Waverly. 3885 was leading 2019

Re: Michigan Shortlines June
GLC 398 (?) returns to Cadillac from Clare at 1540 with 2 hoppers (assuming they are coke), 1 plastics hopper, 7 sand hoppers, 1 centerbeam and 1 boxcar. Too far away to make out the loco number clearly. Did not see them leave town this morning.
Locos were spotted outside the shops most of yesterday, assuming they did not run. Possible TC run tomorrow since Selma Yard now has 2 centerbeams and a boxcar?

Thanks for the heads up, but I won't be able to watch this one go by, I will be traveling to Ohio tomorrow.AANscaleRunner wrote: Possible TC run tomorrow since Selma Yard now has 2 centerbeams and a boxcar?
There is a nice soup and sandwich shop at the TC train station with outside picnic tables just a few feet from the track. Perfect for the midday GLC runs and lunch. I hope to catch the next one.
