Re: Shortline Train Location Updates - May 2024
Grand Elk south through Byron Center at 4:32pm. WAMX 3808, 4190, and 4189 with 42 cars. Should be stopping in Moline to switch. Darn! I missed the train by 13 minutes. I wish there wasn’t construction on US131 SB at Burton to 28th. It’s hard to tell when the GDLK is running by the Burton St bridge ...

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - May 2024
6 hours? Make that 9 hours. And it’s barely been 17 years since 2667 was last here. Don’t be rounding up those numbers to make us all feel older.

Blowing through Jenison/Grandville now. From several miles away I can even hear the rumble of the train. The wind is really carrying the sound this evening.
