Approaching Larch
After setting out bad orders in Gladstone, U745 is up to track speed at it approaches Larch, Larch is where the CNW main line crossed over the Soo's Green Bay to Sault Ste. Marie Main. There is a connector track a half mile behind me that will allow west bounds to get onto the CNW and head south and west through Escanaba. For this train though, they will have to run west (railroad south) to Algoma Junction and turn east/North to run though Escanaba and eventually head north on the CNW main line to Marquette and will cross back over this main line.
