On Friday the 13th, GRE WB in GR with 18 cars, including 2 tanks. The horn still sounds like they are using the loaner power.

MQT SB at Ann Street in GR around Noon today. 5 engines and two long cuts of boxcars from PCA I assume. I think I counted 11 then another 28 or so, plus a hoppers and tanks. I would guess at least 80 cars.

Re: Michigan Short Line Updates: December 2019
About an hour ago JAIL was in Ensel yard with 2 cool cars, a tanker and 3 or 4 box cars. I lost em cuz my kids went to the bathroom but I think they were headed from Ensel to interchange with CN. They might still be in Lansing

As of 15:00, MQT sitting under the I-96 bridge at Van's. MQT 3407, 3408, 3406. The 3407 was for sure leading but I'm not sure of the order of the trailing units tho. Cut of about 20-30 boxcars at the end and hoppers and tanks at the front. 35-40 car long train w/o a crew.

Does that mean that the train will stay tied down until Monday? Can't see them making two weekend runs.Saturnalia wrote:They made a full turn today then, they had the 3408 last night leading SB.kd_1014 wrote:As of 15:00, MQT sitting under the I-96 bridge at Van's.

Re: Michigan Short Line Updates: December 2019
A bit too late for the northbound, but this could be relevant for the southbound return (at least power-wise, I'm guessing), so FWIW: A northbound LSRC was crossing Evans Road at Newark (between Grand Blanc and Holly) at 12:12pm.
