Per ATCS, GLC is at CN's cpPitt by the Holly Subdivision NB (their own track, not on CN's yet), but, a WB on CN is lined through there, but that WB is 20+ miles out, so, GLC crew possibly gets 30 minutes +/- to ponder the meaning of life and whatever else it is GLC crews do while waiting

Sounded like northbound out of Cadillac shortly after 0900.

Update: TC run according to Facebook posts.
