I wonder what would've lifted a locomotive up like that, I'm curious to hear the cause.LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 1:44 pmhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/1570543 ... 351451657/
Seems like it was low speed so hopefully everyone's alright.
Re: Great Lakes Central Updates March 2021
Looks like this run is lined back north until just before Durand as of 00:54. They have not shown up on ATCS yet.
Occupying Pitt at 00:58, cleared into Durand at 01:01, and into the yard at 01:38.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates March 2021
It happened just past Tobias Road, which is a dirt road. My guess is that the front trucks rode off the rails at the crossing with the flangeways packed with ice, and then eventually came to a stop just past the crossing, lifting the rear trucks off the ground on the left side as the loco tilted.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates March 2021
I would think a night run. They probably finished the Petoskey run or there still on the branch I would think
Anyone know when they will come to TC?

They arrived in Petoskey today at around 11:00 am, finished their switching at about 12:00 pm and then headed south.
