3 bay hoppers are for King, 4 bays for AMWAY. 3 tracks full of hoppers in the GRE yard today.

The 4 bays also could be for Poly, as they get plastic hoppers.

So, why the 2 locos? Since these guys are always short on power???

Because, like TC Man said, they use the two engines at Beacon Recycling. Which is in Traverse City as well.

AARR SB at Warner Rd with 3925 leading. They had to recrew after taking that empty grain train north for GLC.
But is Nickthatrailfan in Milan on this Saturday?! Because then he would see this and get an elusive daylight AARR catch!!

Nope, because we all told him to go to Ohio instead.

Went by the GRE yard at Ann St., line of cars for the next EB, with a tank and hopper for AMWAY and around 15 loads for King.

They’ll have quite the snowbank to plow through when they shove into Amway. At least 3 feet high on Fulton street.

GRE on duty at Fuller currently

Battle Creek is way busier than Milan

I agree with the statement above

GR heading back east with their other cut at Diamond ave 10:41. 15 cars

Z151 heading south on the west side of GR with BP 3345 leading 10:10

GRE stopped eastbound in Ada. Not sure if they’ll work Amway now or run back and get their other cut of wheats.

GRE making noise near Ada, 10:40, not sure what direction they are cruising.

GRE definitely didn’t run today. All
the snowbanks in Ada are still intact and snow still covering the rails. Might’ve heard Y106 or another train on CSX a few miles to the south.

kd_1014

Nope. Shoulda knew from the flyer that it wasn’t gonna be corporate approved.

kd_1014

What is the point of CR shared assets? Is it just a zone where they couldn’t evenly divide up trackage between NS and CSX? Or more of a customer idea?

1.26% for the grade EB on Saugatuck.

FWIW, the hill out of Amway on the GRE in Ada is about 4% give or take.

kd_1014

Wondering what the steepest active railroad grade is in Michigan, mainline or not.

GRE west thru Ada 14:10 with 15 cars
