CSX Y297 was working the GRE yard around 6:00pm. Left 10 or so hoppers.

GRE has at least 20 BNSF hoppers in Lowell, which arrived sometime before now.

Y297 north of Ann St. around 6:00p. Had 2 engines and another block of hoppers for King. Easier to see with all the buildings being demolished.

Y297 (?) was north of Ann St around 6:15. Looked like more loads for King. Getting too dark and cold to hang around and watch.

GRE WB Ada 13:27

WB waiting at the diamond around 2:15, with around 20 cars including one tank on the end. Grand Elk was north of Ann St around 1:45. Looks like they left one hopper for GRE.

Late post. GRE returned WB around 1:00p, with 2 cars. Still a line 15 or so loads in the yard. Y297 came through around 5:30, but left no additional hoppers, from what I could see anyway.

Lowell has no hoppers in town or south of town. Quite a few in the Ann St. GRE yard. Probably EB on Monday or maybe Sunday, before the Bowl!

Sounds like Y297 is at Ann St.

Left some hoppers for GRE/King, that weren’t there around noon.

2 hoppers in Lowell and the GRE yard was empty around 6:00p. No CSX yard train yet at that time.

Y297 (?) north of Ann Street around 6:15p switching Padnos. As noted on the Shortline thread, looks like 30 or so King Empties to pick up.

3 loaded center-beams in the GRE yard today. Not many hoppers yet.

A lot of hopper cars moving around in Lowell this morning. GRE came back WB over the Grand River with around 15 empties at ~1:20p.

Gondola in the GRE yard, not sure where it would be going. MOW?

Haven't seen a gon on the GRE since Michigan Wire got their last cars in 2015-2016.

Upon further investigation, it s a PDNX tall sided gon. My uneducated guess is it got left on the wrong siding.

3 bay hoppers are for King, 4 bays for AMWAY. 3 tracks full of hoppers in the GRE yard today.

The 4 bays also could be for Poly, as they get plastic hoppers.

True. And AMWAY my get an occasional 3-bay.

GRE returned to GR. With about 25-30 empties. Then left them on the bridge, west of Turner, and went into the yard light. Probably needs to make some room to fit all the cars.

East of Turner, sorry. Left early and did not see the outcome.

GRE headed east with their second cut (18 cars). Their first cut is in the siding at Ada. Have not switched Amway yet. Should be about to College at 14:26. They made it to Ada with the second cut. 15:30 Now switching Amway My son reported the GRE engine is south of Lowell, hooked up to a line of em...
