Nugent Sand loads from the Berry Jct. transload lately are mostly frac sand
going to Pennsylvania, according to one of the bulk haul drivers hauling out of the Nugent mine
I talked to yesterday.
Today was the first time I have been blocked by a train in the morning in many years north of Muskegon. Michigan Shore was hauling about 18 empties to Berry at 6:50AM.

Grain train empties delivered his morning to MAC in Newaygo with MQT 2040 doing the switching. It usually takes them two days to load. MQT grabs the loads on their way south. The cars are hand me down leasers with an ex-Soo color mark and two ex-Deleware & Hudson cars in the mix.

MAC went to work loading yesterday. Z151 tied up in Newaygo yesterday afternoon took half the cars south last night about 9:00PM. They brought another cut of empties north this morning. The Z151 tied up in Newaygo again this afternoon looking like they will take more south this evening.PatAzo wrote: ↑Thu Jun 16, 2022 11:50 amGrain train empties delivered his morning to MAC in Newaygo with MQT 2040 doing the switching.
