Looks like there were plenty of people out watching them today. I always forget how loud they are from up close.
A dad with his kids were watching the train pass the library and people were filming too. People that were eating at the filling station were shocked to see a train on the tracks.

Today’s mini chase through Traverse City. Sorry for the poor quality I film the trains with a iPhone 12 and it comes out clear but when I upload the video it is poor quality

Just a heads up for TC railfans, they left the center beam at Amerhart to unload it so they should be coming back to pick it up this week.

Head 3 motors were cut off in Alma and went east on the MMRR to Hemlock to pick up a 95 Car Grain train. Grain train will be taken south to Durand tonight for the CN to pick up.

As far as this grain train going south tonight, I'm not sure if it will. MMRR crew goes on the law at 1900, and they have yet to interchange the train.

The train made it onto GLC just in time, and the train was clear of Alma SB at 2000.

The Blue and the Grey™️ (393) is headed back to Cadillac. Through Kingsley at 17:54. 3 gons and an empty centerbeam. For some reason they’re running the train in reverse.
