On Monday, CN X395 dropped off 115 empty grain cars. These are going to the GLC to Alma to the MMRR and will be filled at the elevator in Breckinridge. I’d suspect, similar to the last spee loads done on the MMRR, that power from GLC will stay w the train.

There haven't been any wood chip shipments since the new particle board plant in Grayling opened up AFAIK.

Other cars that look similar are the coke hoppers and cotton seed hoppers. Both go all the way to Cadillac too just like the wood chip hoppers used too.
