Re: GDLK Operations
Sargent Sand facility at Fuller Jct was ended but sand cars are still there in storage and the facility is just on hold until the demand for sand returns. Also keep in mind that the GDLK brings loads to the GRE at Fuller as well.

Re: GDLK Operations
Grand Elk also still technically has access to Padnos' Front St (the old Joe Brown) location north of the river in GR, but I'm not sure they do anything with them currently. In the past this was accessed via the old LS&MS, which has since been mostly torn up, and Grand Elk now has their own spur which comes off the CSX spur at Butterworth.

Re: GDLK Operations
From what I've been hearing, the car is still there & fouling the other track which had caused last night's Amtrak to follow a different path for yarding their train & also affected this morning's Q327's pick up of cars in Waverly/Holland. Q327's engineer had told Dispatch, after getting their yard instructions, "well, this is gonna be fun!".

Re: GDLK Operations
Because the car supposedly had de-railed and stopped very close (fouling) the other track that is used for making yarding moves. Possible another train could make contact with that stopped or de-railed car.Talk wrote: ↑Tue Feb 09, 2021 11:46 amExcuse my lack of knowledge, But how would that affect the Holland Pickup?Tom49801 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 09, 2021 9:37 amFrom what I've been hearing, the car is still there & fouling the other track which had caused last night's Amtrak to follow a different path for yarding their train & also affected this morning's Q327's pick up of cars in Waverly/Holland.

Re: GDLK Operations
The car in question would be nowhere near anywhere Q327 would be.

Re: GDLK Operations
I re-checked the scanner archives, Q327 had to make a different move to make his pick up of cars due to D702's work.

Re: GDLK Operations
Is CN serving Glendenning for certain? The GTW only operated over the former PRR from PJ to the switch at International Paper to reach customers in the Factory St area. If CN is able to serve the Glendenning Whs they must have made some more recent arrangement.1TrackMind wrote: ↑Mon Feb 08, 2021 4:29 pmcorrectNS3322 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 08, 2021 4:12 pmThank you!

Also what is the "IP" in "L. C. Howard Emerald Dr. Warehouse (Old IP facility)" in reference to? If its the building next to I-94 I only know that as Union Van Camp.
