Heavy snow falls as the ELS makes its way north to Wausaukee to pick up some empty log cars that will be taken up to Pembine
Picking up a string of empty log cars here in the siding at Wausaukee
The WC as arrived up here in Pembine and has to do its required stop at the stop sign and will proceed once the ELS as come thru and will have some set outs for the ELS
Here the ELS as arrived and will go into the wood siding spur and spot these empties and shove the loads out the other end and then run LHF back to Crivitz
With the ELS in the clear, the WC train heads East for Escanaba
Last shot of the WC train as he hi-balls out of Pembine

Did a little scenario with Jim Elbes pictures.....The real pix on here are courtesy of Jim Elbe....I take no credit on the real ELS pix on this post......
Northbound Escanaba and Lake Superior job pulls north out of the yard here at Green Bay WI. Todays northbound is only 15 cars. 9 empty box cars for the LP OSB mill in Sagola and 6 UTLX tank cars going into storage just north of HWY 22 at Stiles Junction.
After arriving at Abrams, WI, the crew cuts off their train south of downtown to do a little work at the pulpwood spur. Because they are northbound, the power will have to be split up in order to pull the two loads. The 500 ducks into the spur and the 1344 pulls past leaving enough room for the two loads.
The 500 pulls the loads out of the spur and mates them up with the 1344. After this, the 500 will duck back into the spur with the empty and the 1344 will shove south of the switch. There the two units will be mated back up and they can again continue north. The loads go to the LP OSB mill in Sagola, MI.
After a quick brake test the northbound rolls past the feed store. Next stop; Stiles Junction.
