As of the typing of this text GLC’s CNTN is on duty working in Selma Yard, most likely a northbound run to Petoskey today as they haven’t gone north in some time. 396 will lead 399, unsure of the car count. Will update later.

**Correction, Tufford Yard**

***Train length is roughly 20 cars***

Looks like AANR videoed them several times going north. Are all the short and long covered hoppers loaded are some empty being used as spacers?

They are all loads. Spacers are no longer needed for the Manistee River bridge. To the best of my knowledge the bridge replacement will not be happening. At least not any time soon.

I didn't hear or see them myself today. I had seen gravel and sand pushed out of the flange tracks on some of the Traverse City crossings Sunday afternoon, thought they had already been thru.

A fine video from Todd Feldpausch.
Starting at around the 13 minute mark Todd details GLC's lumber customers. The two Weyerhaeuser lumber loads in the video are for Biewer. Biewer sends out quite a few loads but receiving lumber is either a first or rare event for them.

I think it’s Perrinton or did it get changed recently?
