Through Manton at 17:00. 384 and 386, the first time I’ve seen them! Now all I have to see is 383 and I’ll have seen every active GLC engine.
Consistently confused

FRA train still in Cadillac. Unknown if it will go south or continue north tomorrow.
Re: Great Lakes Central Updates June 2021
I think they turned on the wye last night in Selma to face north. I would think it might go to Petoskey or TC todayLansingRailFan wrote: ↑Wed Jun 16, 2021 11:45 pmFRA train still in Cadillac. Unknown if it will go south or continue north tomorrow.
