There was no Middleton run,loads still there and no power around as of this morning.

397 is sitting in Owosso waiting whatever outcome.

GLC ran to ZFS Ithaca today for 25 cars,we caught them leaving South bound at 1:45 this afternoon. Took video but not sure how to upload on here,posted on the Facebook pages though.

I'm friends with Todd on Facebook,I can let him know.

Yes 2 crew's in Cadillac now,day crew and evening crew. Day crew has been handling out bound car's going south,and switching the sawmill and co-op in Mcbain. Plus Farwell and Clare work,they have been meeting Owosso crew in Clare,Rosebush,or Mt.Plesant. Night crew works local Cadillac switching,hand...

Not really Ithaca anymore,ZFS Ithaca is running full production 7 day's a week.

East Jordan Plastics has 4 locations across Michigan. East Jordan,Beaverton,Millington,and South Haven. I've personally been at two of there locations,they've been a good customer for my employer. For at least a year or more EJ has had transloading at the yard in Clare...

Thanks for the responses,the boxcar in Rosebush was a nice surprise.

Some observations from my travels from Ithaca to Farwell today. Lots of track work from Ithaca to Alma,lots of track work around Rosebush. Noticed a Railbox high cube boxcar spotted at the fertilizer dealer south of Rosebush. Semi was backed up to it,hilo was in the boxcar moving material into the s...

Sounds like Cadillac crew went to TC today,390&392 running Owosso to Cadillac today.

MAC in Middleton also receives tanks of fertilizer,fertilizer in hopper's and Potash also. Every thing in Oakley is the Anderson's,they also get tanks of liquid fertilizer. Liquid in Ashley gets occasional boxcars. Mid Michigan Specialty Crops in Ithaca ship's out dry beans occasionally in boxcars.

Been a week or so since a train was in Middleton. There are fertilizer empties for pickup,MAC was moving a ground pile all week into their silos. Wouldn't be surprised if a unit train was coming soon,I'll try to give a heads up if they do.

Believe it's Quality Energy.

The Co-op in Mcbain receives feed also,not unusual to see 2or3 feed hopper's in there. They also receive fertilizer and potash also.

Taking a wild guess on that steel plate coming in. LC Manufacturing in Lake City could be the customer,there specialty is forging&processing. They use large plate steel,and by directly from the mills. Only place I can think of around Cadillac,or Northern Michigan that would receive those types of qu...

MDOT is closing that intersection for good do to the number of fatal accidents over the year's there. Bagley will become a dead end road off Washington,and a culder sack will be constructed there in the spring.

Cargill is fully operational and receives several cars a week. Every time I go by they have at least 6-10 cars on their spur,and the north end switch is right at the King St. crossing.

Having seen the amount of rail they have laid into the new ZFS facility there in Ithaca,I bet there will be a lot of rail activity there.

Seen on Facebook that 329 went on the ground yesterday in Clare.

Looked like the flat car in question was just a maintenance of way flat car. The one's GLC have made from the old AA boxcars.
