No, GDLK delivers loaded tank cars to the frac sand transload yard for transloading. The sand transload is currently inactive as is the one at Mart St. There was some feed being unloaded a few weeks ago at Mart St but no sand loading.J T wrote: ↑Mon Sep 27, 2021 1:34 pmDoing a little switching on the spur next to Victor Barnes?Plannerdad wrote: ↑Mon Sep 27, 2021 12:36 pmGrand Elk just arrived at Ann St. in GR.

12:30 - ADBF 1760 solo delivered two empty CN boxcars and the high and wide load from Reid Machinery to CN.
They are now hooking up to four empty scrap gons for Padnos and six CN boxcars for Michigan Packaging in Mason at the Old Hollow Yard/CN interchange. After dropping the four cars at Padnos they returned south through downtown Lansing with the six boxcars from CN.

Re: Shortline Updates September 2021
Who is getting the tanks at Ann Street? The MQT customer up at Alpine or the feed additive conglomeration that got booted from CSX bids that's up east of Cedar Springs on Stout?

Re: Shortline Updates September 2021
In Holland southbound early this morning, so why back so late in the day to Muskegon? Is there any switching they do along the way other than working in Waverly yard?
