Great lakes doesn't cross in Alma. MMRR? I just caught a glimpse of them between the bridge decks on the highway but it looked like a couple black tanks at least

Re: Shortline Updates June, 2021
GRE Lowell observation: there was a large yellow funnel coming from one of the large grain bins positioned over one of the tracks, so it could load a hopper from the top (but no hopper under it at this time). Plus some hoppers on tracks not used too often. The funnel may have been there before and used for trucks or King is starting some outbound loads by rail again.
Re: Shortline Updates June, 2021
GRE working Fuller. Looks like 5 or 6 loads for King
Re: Shortline Updates June, 2021

There are around 30 hoppers in Lowell tonight, about double what was there yesterday. Must have made 2 trips.

LSRC grabbed this train around 10:30 last night and took it to HESR. HESR grabbed it this morning and took it to Bayport, MI. The UP engines stayed w LSRC and we’re used to take back the empties from the first windmill train that they received last weekend.LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Sat Jun 19, 2021 3:06 pmLSRC is going to get a loaded windmill train from CSX today.

An hour ago, HESR dropped off an 88 car loaded fertilizer train (all CSX hoppers) to LSRC in Saginaw. The loads came from Gavallon.
