Not 100% certain, but pretty sure I heard then head north out of Cadillac around 1020. Will be Petoskey run if so.

Looked like 393 was putting a train together today in Cadillac to go north. About a dozen short hoppers and one tank so far.

If this thing found online actually happens, that'd be nice for TC GLC updates. Wondering if GLC is involved, or if it's a sales pitch by a realtor.

Yeah I was wondering what was going on with this spur. The other day I was driving near parsons rd and these yellow things (idk what their called) they were plowing all the trees and branches away from the spur.

On the subject of Traverse City, does anyone know what business the large building at the corner of Parsons Rd and Airport Access Rd? There was a spur that went north from the PM main across Parsons, the TART is even still marked for where the spur crossed. There was also a spur that went into what is now the Career Tech Center. What was that?

Building at Airport Access and Parson's used to receive plastic pellets. Burr Clocks or something like that IIRC. I'll look up my notes when I get home.

IDK about the former use of the Career Tech Center. I'll check my notes for that too.

It was Burwood Industries. They made clocks. LOTS of clocks. Received 2-4 hoppers of plastic pellets per month into the TSBY days.
