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.

Through Kingsley at 15:54. Several traffic safety laws were violated in the process.

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

Good stuff Brody.

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.

Sb just pulling up to work the Ithaca bean plant at 1735. Good size train. Beans from rosebush on the head end to set off

382 and 329 leaving Cadillac towards Clare at 0940.

We got 82 and 29 up here yesterday?

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.

Hearing them leave Cadillac for Clare approximately 1120.

Anyone know if 393 headed north? I know that that the 2 other engines left Cadillac for Clare not long ago

Headed to Williamsburg now

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.
