Re: GR&P
Ok our new trains are:
CHIDURCP
CHIDURCN
CHIDURCN-2
CHIDURCP-2
DURCHICP
DURCHICN
DURCHICN-2
Also the line to Toledo is double tracked with a few triple track sidings, but GR&P trains will be most likely held up for DT&C trains but only if necessary, we wont put a GR&P train in the siding for three hours, we will make sure it gets.to where it needs to go, and speaking of which, where do they go?

Re: GR&P
These are the four trains to Toledo: S100 to Walbridge, S101 to Walbridge, S102 to Lang Yard, and S103 to Stanley Yard. S100 originates in Saginaw, S101 originates in Durand, S102 in Saginaw, and S103 in Midland. There are also trains S104 which is like S100, except it goes from Walbridge to Saginaw; S105 is Walbridge to Durand; S106 is Stanley to Saginaw; and S107 is Stanley to Midland. There may be an occasional grain extra to Walbridge from mid Michigan or the thumb.

Re: GR&P
Yes. In fact, the sidings are a bit longer than the trains due to possibility of longer trains in the future, and possible extras that may be longer than the average trains on this line. Every siding is about a mile to a mile and a half long.

There is a light engine move, X108, currently in Byron that's going to Walbridge to pick up a string of grain cars to bring to Saginaw. It'll be about 50 cars long going north. Two SD40-2's.
