Great Lakes Central Updates - April 2023

[amessmann]

GLC has a clear signal northbound at Ann Pere diamond as of 19:40.
Update: disregard, this seems to be part of the signal issues in the area. (as the aspect persisted until past midnight, delaying a WB grainer who got a red at the diamond)

Dumb question but where is Lakeland? Is that where the GT used to cross? It’s basically a part of Hamburg now right?

MQT1223 correct, right after hamburg going north on the GLC track. Very small area but back in the day it used to have a train depot where both tracks crossed. The old GT is now a rail to trail
