Where in Gaylord is the transload site at?

Right by Millbocker Road where the site of a Georgia pacific plant was closed and demolished long ago.

Ahh ok, thanks!

Nothing in the twice-weekly newspaper yet. Some grading is going on adjacent to the Gaylord transload site .

Where in Gaylord is the transload site at?

CEO of the company talks about it briefly 11:20 into this interview.

CN 2302 and BCOL 4641 (CN paint) are switching the yard in Durand. Not sure which direction their train will be going once leaving town. It has left the yard and is preparing to depart town westbound. There is another westbound somewhere around Swartz Creek that’s also lined through on the other ma...

CN and NS are going to start interchanging intermodal at Detroit and Chicago. Included in this article is a map of the deal. https://www.railwayage.com/freight/class-i/cn-ns-announce-new-domestic-intermodal-service/ Also, UP has apparently trimmed a day from the transit time for the Falcon intermoda...

06:50 - FXE 4645 is 2/2 on an EB E295 thru Marcellus E29571 06 Edit: CN 8003 is the leader. FXE 4645 is rear DPU. LansingRailfan! Is E295 a train for the Holly Subdivision? :?: Or does this train go to Canada? Where is this train now (around 1:46 p.m.)? Cool FERROMEX® !!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: ...

And here it is - option 1 won out. I was hoping for 3 or 5, but oh well.

CPKC and CSX are acquiring a G&W shortline (Meridian & Bigbee Railroad) between Meridian, MS and Montgomery, AL, splitting it at Myrtlewood, AL, to create a direct Southeast interchange point for the two railroads. https://www.trains.com/trn/news-reviews/news-wire/cpkc-and-csx-to-create-direct-inter...

I wonder if they would do a cam on the CN Holly Sub. More traffic than those sites. It would be neat to see a camera in downtown Holly, to see both CN and LSRC. Although I have no idea if there are any businesses there that would be willing to host a camera that has that view, so it might not be po...

Just a heads up - Steel Highway Railcams just uploaded a new live camera on the Grand Elk in Three Rivers. Not busiest line, but may be useful in regards to tracking movements for those who railfan the line. Looks like there was already a train recorded on the cam at 4:05pm. Also, I see in their "Li...

Westbound intermodal train led by CN 8908 and 5649 with 157 wells was going through Durand at 8;10pm.

WB Q137 31 - from Montreal to Prince Rupert, BC.

Where these empty wells or loaded wells?

Loaded wells. Probably 50/50 between double and single stacks.

Westbound intermodal train led by CN 8908 and 5649 with 157 wells was going through Durand at 8;10pm.

CN 222? And 5331 west through Swartz Creek with a mixed freight/autorack/intermodal at 3:38pm. Maybe 508 based on consist?

Saw this being posted about on Trainorders, supposedly CPKC employees get to vote on these 5 options for a new livery. Here's the link to the Facebook post with the pics.

EB stopped at east Durand. 2 CNs and mixed freight, plus 6 flatcars with intermodal containers on them on the end of the train.

I haven't seen anything about new trains since the start date, so I'm guessing anything new is tacked onto pre existing intermodal trains. Has there been a noticeable increase in train length due to UP/FMX containers, or has the new business been minimal so far?
