Re: GDLK Operations

Correct, ex-GTW 4910. They moved the tubes down from the top to the side of the hood so it would fit in the coal dumper shed IIRC.

The 4910 was formerly at the Erickson Power plant of the Lansing Board of Water & Light. I believe it is ex GTW.

Re: Carleton, MI railfan meet

I like the IORY updates. From what I understand it runs two or three times per week and usually has 10-30 cars. Are they still handling dry ice to ADBF? PS you’re not a true railfan until you wait for the reclusive I&O Flat Rock turn and do not sleep a wink for as long as it takes for it to show up ...

There is also an A&L scrap yard in the area that receives occasional service. I don’t know if they are connected to the old AFB.
