CSX 4037 working a rail train at Elmdale as W043. In the work zone. They just got permission back East back onto their train. I guess they just stretched it. Sounds like they have a work train to bring westbound.

CSX 4007 is currently westbound around Fox with Y306 heading back for Wyoming Yard.

08:21 EDT: Q327 departing Grandville. No work at Holland cause he’s already a LANDBARGE. Y306 out around Fox and the Work Train is catching up to him. Nothing from Z151 yet.

W043 will be unloading their MOW equipment train on M2 west of Seymour

09:08 EDT: W043 all stop just beyond Seymour. This is a rail change equipment train and boy have they brought the Calvary of people for it.

At approx 11pm, saw lite loco CSXT 345 eastbound at 32nd St in Grand Rapids. Biked out to Ada, and on the return trip, was quite surprised to see the gates going down in front of me just before I got to the crossing, so that was a nice treat. They are lined up to the west end of Lake Odessa. Appears to be cars/MOW in the siding at Elmdale. - edit - is W03521, which is a tie team train. It's grabbing cars out of the siding at Elmdale as of 11:45pm, and supposedly running to Walbridge and onto Garrett.
