As this afternoon’s train rolled through Bangor I noticed on the Bangor WebCam there were 3 gondola cars that looked like they were bound for the WMI in Hartford Michigan. The train also had in its consist 2 CSX box cars. I thought they may be going to Coloma Michigan however I am now Second-guessing myself based on the position of those cars within the train and wondering if they’re going to go to the WMI as well.

I watched this train pass through Bangor once again on the Bangor WebCam heading eastbound. The train had the same amount of cars going east as west although some of the cars in the consist were different and some the same. This fact intrigues as well as confuses me.

Usually, L301 will set off & pick up the same quantity of Coil Cars from Arlington Metals in Sawyer which keeps the car count going westward the same as eastward over the DD91.9
