Re: Shortline Train Location Updates - January 2024

Re: Shortline Train Location Updates - January 2024
WAMX 4208 returned from Otsego, apparently solo, with several boxcars. I did not have a great view. But I did not see a second locomotive. I can see the remainder of the train setting south of the 89 crossing, and it did not appear to have an engine on the front. If my observations are accurate, 420...

Re: Shortline Train Location Heads Up-December 2023
Hearing the EOT on the Elk in Plainwell since about 7:30AM. If I'm still hearing it when I head to the store I will try to get a visual.
9:20 - Sounds like they've moved on... No more telemetry.

Re: Shortline Train Location Heads Up-December 2023
INER arriving in Coldwater. Not sure on car count since I was too far away. I counted 9, mostly tanks with a couple CH's. There were more cars I couldn't get a reasonable count of.

Re: Shortlines Train Location Heads Up - November 2023
Grand Elk was southbound through Byron Center at 10:28am. WAMX 4206, WAMX 4190, and 33 cars. My wife and I are eating at Old Mill Brew Pub in Plainwell and the train just showed up and picked up 12 box cars from the Otsego paper plant spur. They hooked those up to the rest of the train and then unc...

Re: Shortlines Train Location Heads Up - October 2023
Grand elk south through Byron Center at 5:57pm..wamx 4209 and 4190 with 31 cars. Guessing they got recrewed in GR if Jim heard them around 5am this morning. Makes sense on the long turnaround time today before the southbound run. When I crossed the tracks at 6:45AM they were idling just south of M-...

Re: Shortlines Train Location Heads Up - October 2023
It sounds like the GDLK is out working early again this morning. Presumably will be northbound like yesterday.

Re: Shortlines Train Location Heads Up - October 2023
Hearing the GDLK EOT telemetry in Plainwell. It's been there for a bit so I presume they're in Otsego Usually that means they'll be northbound when they're done.
