Great Lakes Central Updates December 2022
The rails are getting a little rusty here in Traverse City. Somebody send a train up here to shine them up a little.
Re: Great Lakes Central Updates December 2022
It's been since October for a train in TC. It appears Beacon is no longer shipping. They've graded over the tracks along to road. Hasn't been any empties dropped off there since the first week of October.

3 gons and 2 loads of lumber went up last night.
On a side note, Cadillac is back to running one crew, usually with an afternoon call time. Difficult for me to catch them these days.

GLC brought down a unit grain train from the two Star of the West elevators. AARR picked it up yesterday afternoon.
There’s still a CSX unit grain train being loaded at Oakley. It came up Thursday.

Found CNTN. Guess they didn’t make it back yesterday since they are sitting here at the DTE crossing south of Kalkaska.

Yesterday apparently they ran from Owosso straight to Cadillac. Definitely tight on bodies up north. Anyone looking for a job?
