CF&E 3885 and MMRR 2019 went west from Henry street in Muskegon to work Webb chemical with 4 tanks after setting out a cut of empty sand cars around 12:30. They were held on the ex GTW for a few minutes while their hi rail truck worked its way south from peck street. They came back from Webb around 2:30

I talked to guy from GLC and he said that they haven't been getting anything in from the big roads. They took a grain train to Middleton yesterday and it took 3 hours to spot it. Airlines are freezing up and switches are frozen. They were suppose to be thru Shepherd today around 10 10:30 but as of 11:30 no train. Probably when everything gets straiten out there will be a big train north.
