Re: Amtrak Updates April 2024
At 1:45PM two Harsco units were WB from Galesburg. Per the Harsco website I think they were Mark IV Production/Switch Tampers. Farther to the west was a Hi-Rail.

Re: Shortlines Train Locations Updates - April 2024
Sometime in the wee hours of the morning GDLK rolled into Plainwell and parked for a few hours. They can now be heard on the radio, apparently having returned from their work in Otsego. Presumably they will be northbound soon.

Re: Shortlines Train Locations Updates - April 2024
Grand Elk south through Byron Center at 5:05pm. WAMX 4190 and 4124 with 31 cars. Couple short gons in there. Based on the EOT/HOT telemetry, I believe they tied down in Plainwell last night. When I went past the power was South of the crossing and I didn't see anything to the North, so this might b...

Re: New siding-business in Traverse City???
Wont matter anyways. Michigan just voted 5-3 to tear out "all rail extending from Walton junction to traverse city". Reason being lack of business and poor rail managment. Looks like there will be a new bike trail in michigan. Darn, I thought they would double track the line to help facilitate A2TC.

Re: GDLK Gearhart yard
I really don't know when the roundhouse was torn down. I was away from Kalamazoo for quite a few years, when I left in 1964 it was still up but when I moved back in 1998 it was long gone. I was hoping someone else would chime in with the answer. I just remember it was neat to drive past the roundho...

Re: Shortlines Train Locations Updates - March 2024
Same power sitting in Plainwell at 5:35. it's just North of the M89 crossing. it looks like they've picked up the Otsego box cars and I presume. They have hooked it to the rest of the train l. There is no sign of life around the engines.

Re: Shortline Train Location Updates - January 2024
Grand Elk north through Byron Center at 3:13pm. WAMX 4189, WAMX 4206, and 20 cars. Mix of boxcars, tank cars, covered hoppers, open gons, and an empty centerbeam. Here's the youtube dude with the view of GDLK returning from the Otsego with 4206 and 4189 with its boxcars today: https://www.youtube.c...

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: Shortline Train Location Heads Up-December 2023
When I went by at 6:45 a.m., gdlk4125 and a friend were sitting just south of the m89 Crossing in plainwell. The lights were dimmed, but they were obviously ready to rocket northward when the time came. I couldn't see the consist, but there was at least one box car behind the friend.
