Re: Great Lakes Central Updates June 2020
Didn't KingsleyRailFan say last night that they were in Kingsley headed to TC? Two nights in a row?? Of spent the night in TC? Could also be going to Beacon- there were still 8 gons at Beacon when I left for Los Angeles last Friday. And I won't be back until Sunday to look.AANscaleRunner wrote:According to Facebook posts, 397 and 398 currently in TC. Most likely running to Amerhart.

I thought I heard something going through town last night, but I just assumed it was a loud truck horn or something, and didn't investigate. Seems as if this line's getting a lot more traffic than usual these days.

Makes me wonder if they'll be making another run up here tonight since they've been doing that a lot recently.

Seems to be. Friday night the night crew ran to Traverse City, they were at the lumber company in Bates around 9 pm.

They went to TC two nights in a row last week (Wednesday and Thursday- not Friday). Lumber company on Wednesday and lumber company as well as Beacon Recycling on Thursday night.SD80MAC wrote:Seems to be.

Estimate of when they'll be back? Might catch them in Manton if they're through when I'm in town.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates June 2020
Small train today. Depending on how much time they spend in Elmira, they could be back through Manton any time now. I stopped chasing in Fife Lake due to the rain.KingsleyRailFan wrote:Estimate of when they'll be back? Might catch them in Manton if they're through when I'm in town.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates June 2020
I didn’t end up catching them. Didn’t want to leave home and race down there only to have missed them.

Yes they are. Short train yesterday but less time standing in the rain for me.AARR wrote:Are they still using spacers over the bridge?
Re: Great Lakes Central Updates June 2020
Wow, only three carloads of cement? This is peak construction time. I wonder why Elmira is getting so few car loads? They should be going through 20+ cars a week. I've noticed from your other videos they are getting around 10ish cars per delivery which still seems low for this time of year .
