Great Lakes Central Train Location Updates June 2023

Unread post by GLC@ZLT »

OSTN past zukey lake/Lakeland went south last night 22:06 and came back north early this morning 3:40. Looked out the window going south and looked like 3 locomotives, I could only make out 329. Both directions had decent sized trains

OSTN-3 382 southbound with a potash train from HESR 88-92 cars per the GLC fb page. Passed Zukey lake/Lakeland at 14:26. Was waiting for a northbound trip back but maybe they are going to wait until next week to pick up the locomotive at osmer. GLC escape was parked here and at osmer (maybe to shuttle back??).

Yes. Crew drove back home. Only needed one crew and one engine to take all of those empty cars back to Osmer.

If they pulled up ties from that siding they are probably using that gondola to take the em to McBain

That's not anywhere near the Williamsburg line though. Unless they just took that car on a field trip since they had to take lumber up there "hey, I never get to go for a long ride, why does center beam always get to go?!?!". Lol

Might have stored it there for a future run. I’ve seen that done before.

On an unrelated note, they are beginning to tear up the siding near Right Brain in Traverse City.
Consistently confused

It's not being stored for a future run. It's connected to an empty center beam ready for pickup at Amerhart.

And I've mentioned that about the run around track in Boardman yard being torn up in the Michigan updates section. Now there are several bundles of new ties towards the north end of that runaround track. So I'm not sure what's going on there....

Yesterday, GLC OSTN was SB at Ann Pere with 395/382/329/396 f/f/r/r at 19:00. They worked CSX on their way down before going to Osmer. They brought back well over 130 cars total including an 84 car empty grain train for HESR.

AARR has another grain train in Osmer for GLC. Well over 100 cars sitting in Osmer rn.
