Eastern Railroad Discussion > The sun comes out at the right moment at Durand, MIDate: 11/06/19 06:53 The sun comes out at the right moment at Durand, MI Author: jkh2cpu Durand was slow yesterday, but there was a bit of excitement in the form the sun coming from behind thick clouds at the right moment to really illuminate the train of windmill blades.

The luck of the moment made the shots. These days I usually get to Durand around 12:30 to 1 PM, and hang around until 4 or 4:30 PM. I can expect to see one or two east and west bound CN trains, a CN train that comes up the Holly in the late afternoon, and the 514 intermodal that runs between Flint and Moterm (Did I get that right, Ron?) between 1 an 4 or 5 PM. Great Lakes Central runs Monday through Friday, but you cannot set your watch by them: it could be morning, evening, or night that they run between Owosso and Osmer, just north of Ann Arbor. Huron and Eastern is likely to get to Durand M-F between 1 PM and 4 or 5 PM. Here's the GLC from yesterday. It will head out onto Main 1 so that it can clear the points to reverse into the yard. Mondays are a bad day at Durand, because the Depot is closed, meaning the restrooms are unavailable :-( John.
