Shortline Updates December 2020

Unread post by SD80MAC »

I realize this is late, but Grand Elk made a trip down the old Hasting's Secondary this morning, WAMX 4190 and 1 loaded centerbeam for L&W supply. Watched them use the runaround for the first time (for me) at the end of the line.

They lead engine first down the secondary to the Steelcase area, ran around their centerbeam, and then spotted it at L&W? Doh... that would have been nice to catch on a sunny morning like this.

A boatload of them on the interchange track at Fuller. Not sure if they're empties or loads. Plus a string of about 10 on 2 track in the yard.

Crap ton at the interchange track at Fuller. Looks like GLDK has a huge pick up when the Z739 comes later tonight, if those are even GDLK cars.
