Sure have - 329 is parked in Owosso. Took this photo of it a week ago on 11/10:

Interestingly enough I also took a pic of it from the same trail same day.

That's odd and a half... unless you are out there more often seeing GLC. I hadn't been to Owosso in years. Drove over to St Johns, then biked from there over to Owosso, went north a bit, then over to Corunna, and back to St Johns. Saw GLC run two locos east out of downtown to their small yard on the east side of town before getting some Chips Place pizza and going west.

Leaving Cadillac for Clare at 1045.

I visit for breakfast/brunch with some others most weeks, only I don't often visit along GLC's yard and usually drive away elsewhere. Nov 10th was only the second or third time I'd gone along the trail there after a few years of going. I'd been curious if LTEX #310 was [still] there having heard it was supposed to be in Owosso. Didn't find it though and just got various pictures of other units I had seen, including 397 which was a lil' stripped.

If you ever make your way back to Owosso in the future, a lil ways further north along M52 on the east side is a family diner called Greg & Lou's. I recommend it! One day I'll have to get myself out to Chips Place.

NB GLC at Alma with a neat high and wide towards the front. 386 leading, 395 trailing…

GLC SB 2 engines 384 and 383 very short train 3 grain cars cam time 15:58

The High/Wide Generator went to Traverse City Last night at around 22:30, 395 and 386 hauled it. There was also a GLC crew working at Acme yesterday, not sure if it was related to that or not.

No D708 for two days means GLC ostn only took three cars SB last night and ran to Osmer. They came back north thru Durand at 21:42.

383/384 for power.

Did GLC come through last night?

1225 is delayed by a GLC Track crew lighting the rails on fire no clue what they’re actually doing. Might be adjusting the rails.

They usually do that to fix a pull apart I believe. It will expand the rails so they can line up the bolt holes. Just a guess since I can't see it first hand.

Did anyone get pictures of the transformer load GLC brought to TVC?

There's a few videos and pictures on Facebook, I can make an album of them.

Leaving Cadillac for Clare at 1100.

Thanks I guess I don't follow any GLC groups on facebook. I'll have to take a look

OSTN Nb at Durand at 00:31 - Durand west cam is down so only heard em.

Hearing them leave Cadillac for Clare approximately 1045.

Thanks for the photos of 329 guys. Am now wondering how long it has been since it has been seen on the road working. And speaking of 397 being seen and photographed,
I have never seen a picture of this unit since its unfortunate mishap up north, quite some time ago now to see just how much damage was done.

The 7 is missing from this angle but like my own pic of #329, this also taken November 10th
