We took a midweek trip to the "homeland" and had few railroad sightings. The first was an unknown southbound freight passing through Veterans Park in Bay City as we crossed the river, passing over Veteran's Bridge. At the MAC elevator between Breckenridge and Wheeler, there were 6 covered hoppers and 9 tank cars. 5 of the hoppers were CSX with on rusty leaser on the east end. There was a short string of 5-6 mixed lease covered hoppers in the siding in Breckenridge and nothing visible at the MAC facility in town. In St. Louis, Bear Truss was unloading bulkhead flat lumber load. There were 4 CSX covered hoppers and a couple of 2 car leased covered hopper cuts further back on the property.
