Z627-14 @ 8:55 heard blowing south through Muskegon, (Getty St?) MMRR #2170 Leader, no visual.

Horns are getting louder as he approaches.

Nevermind, he’s down by the bend in Muskegon Heights and NOT headed SB.

I was within 2 miles of GDLK tracks and I didn’t hear any horns.

I will be listening for GDLK horns tomorrow and probably catch 303 GDLK after work
