Beacon in Traverse City
Beacon in Traverse City
395-396 switched Beacon today in Traverse City. Arrived with 4 empty cars and pulled 3 loads.
Arriving at Beacon Recycling,
After splitting the engines, 395 pulls the 3 loads off of Beacon's siding.
Then the 4 empty cars are spotted.
The engines are recoupled and with 396 now leading, begin there trip back towards Cadillac, passing through the old Boardman Yard in Traverse City.

Re: Beacon in Traverse City
Great shots. They actually went to the depot, picked up a loaded center beam and took it to Amerhart, then back to TC before heading to Cadillac.

Re: Beacon in Traverse City
So wonderful to see Beacon has become a regular customer! Thanks for sharing these detail photos of their operation. If they also went to Williamsburg, then they switched all the customers on the TC branch! 2 customers is better than 1!

Re: Beacon in Traverse City
I believe they also went to Amerihart.
Re: Beacon in Traverse City
If they did go to Amerhart, it was before they switched Beacon, I followed them back around Boardman Lake and out Keystone Rd heading south.
I was under the impression they didn't go to Bates on Monday.....?
Also THANK YOU everyone for the positive comments, I'd been hoping to catch them in Traverse for quite a while...
Here they are at mp 24 along Woodmere Ave departing Traverse City.

Re: Beacon in Traverse City
That last pic is well done especially, KC. And shows off the rehab work done in 2019.
