I'm currently hearing a Leslie RS5T horn blowing for Grandville. Not sure what unit in this area would have that horn..

Hi, it turns out that was CSX engine #6504 on CSX train Y297-17. Here's the YouTube video link for that train today that was posted by steamlogger:

Nice! Based off the direction I heard the horn, I thought it was in Grandville. Did they switch buzzi at all by chance? I live in Wyoming so I don't understand how I can hear a horn 7 miles away in Grand Rapids..

You probably heard Y197 switching PCA near Ivenrest earlier in the morning. They also switch the lead that crosses Chicago drive and ends at Burlingame.
