E&LS Operations
In Channing, the O&B Job goes on duty about 0900
(mon-thur and sat), gathers up it's train and heads westbound out to Ontonagon. Typically they work pulpwood landings
at Sidnaw, Frost, Rosseau, and Mass City before arriving in Ontonagon to switch out the Mill. They may stop on the rerturn
trip if it's convinient for the siding direction. After making 2 runs into the Mill, crossing the Ontonagon River
Bridge, they get their train and head south. They often Die in Sidnaw and have the Channing Switch Job (on duty 0600)
come and bring em in. Then after the switch job is done running Channing, They bring the train south to Kingsford for
the next Morning's Run to Crivitz (mon-fri and sun). That job will go into Crivitz to meet with the Northbound out of
Green Bay (same days), arou7nd noon-1pm. and on the weekdays the M&M switcher out of Marinette will meet them also.
The trains will swap freight and return to Channing, Green Bay and Marinette respectively.
Out of Escanaba there are few
local businesses and car shops, and a few times a week (no set days) they run to Pembine over the CN. The southbound
to Crivitz may sometimes leave cars in Pembine for the Esky to Pembine job.
