GLC is on the ground at the south end of the yard in Owosso. 329 and 382 are your power. Looks like 4 tank cars are off the track, but upright. Both units are upright.
Will do my best to get pics.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates - April 2021
That's what likely occurred. Nobody's too sure what happened, since nobody ever got a good look at it. Odd that they're scrapping one of their units, that barely ever happens on the GLC. Especially one of the '38s.LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Sun Apr 18, 2021 7:12 pmWas this the one that was hit by the train car up north?
Fun fact: the cars that likely caused the accident are still there.
Consistently confused

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates - April 2021
Checked on Beacon in Traverse City this morning. There are two ITFX gons (of the 4 that seem to be in a regular rotation, with one of the 4 picked up last Thursday), and also a DJJX gon (this gon is shoved past the scale ready for pickup). Looks like they took something to Amerhart as well, but could not see how many.
