I'm sure someone wishes they knew the empty centerbeams from Traverse City would be coming down at the same time Biewer needed a pair for loading :)

The brownish-red covered hoppers look like fertilizer for McBain.

Didn't hear them at all in Cadillac today. Assuming they headed north before 0845 when I got out on the street.

Left Cadillac for Clare at 1030. Caught 8 tie loads, 9 tanks, 2 covered hoppers and 1 tank.

397 and 399 returned at 1500 with 1 wood chip hopper, 2 loaded centerbeams, 4 wood chip hoppers and 8-two bay hoppers.

Most of the 2 bays had what looked like ICIX reporting marks.

Keep an eye on these. They might be heading to the cement terminal in Elmira.
