OSTN was lined sB thru Durand onto GLC tracks at Pitt at 08:30. Did not see power. Nice to have daytime OSTNs.

ONTN was spotted working at ZFS at 08:46 w 329 LHF and 383 forward facing.

AANR, in this video you took it shows a load of Biewer Lumber arriving in Cadillac at the 1:23 mark (along with several empties). Is this load going back to Biewer?

I believe so. Been a while since one has been returned.

Thank you

About a month ago a Todd Feldpausch video showed Biewer receiving a pair of loaded center beams with Weyerhaeuser lumber. Just wondering if it was lumber from another Biewer mill?

They could be transloading in McBain now. They recieve loads at their yard in Lansing from both other biewer locations as well as other suppliers. In the past they would truck lumber south from the mills to the Lansing yard then back haul orders filling with their material along with items they had unloaded off railcars. It's possible they are having cars delivered to McBain in order to accomplish the same thing just further north. I know I've seen lots of their trucks drive right past McBain with loads out of Lansing. Tuesday night there was a single loaded beam car in their siding. Last night there was nothing. I should be in there again tonight so survey the situation.
