Southbound by Clare at 1217. I'm a couple miles from track, hard to say exactly what's going on.
Re: Great Lakes Central Updates: November 2020
382 (I think) and 392 with 4 cars northbound, by M-61 at 1550.

Looking west from 127 on the Middleton district there's a solid red light on the tracks a mile or two away. Too far out to see what it is 0838

I would bet so, there's an empty at Amerhart and 3 loads pushed beyond the scale ready for pickup at Beacon.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates: November 2020
When I was there this morning I think there was some empties that hadn't been loaded yet. That new loading track is much longer than it used to be. Hopefully we'll see them utilizing it on an ongoing basis. I guess they didn't build it not to use. I'll have to start giving an accounting of cars when I go in there for now. Lake city cant keep up with the bark demand so im getting material from mcbain for the time being. Does anyone know what that big building is going to be next to the loading track?AARR wrote: ↑Mon Nov 30, 2020 6:16 pmWow, they picked up 7 loaded center beams!AANscaleRunner wrote: ↑Mon Nov 30, 2020 12:31 pmCadillac crew currently working Mcbain on the way to Clare at 1230.

Spur was extended this summer. I want to say the new building is an enlarged kiln dryer, but I could be wrong. I thought the Cadillac News had an article on the expansion, but I couldn't find it. To the best of my knowledge, most of the outbound lumber goes to Texas.KC8RBK wrote: ↑Mon Nov 30, 2020 6:28 pmWhen I was there this morning I think there was some empties that hadn't been loaded yet.
