Grand Elk 501 just cleared CP Cowling. It's 4:30 in the am and the local is still out n about. I'm not sure what is going on over there lately but the local crew has had some really messed up days the last couple weeks.

Re: Michigan Shortlines April 2015
Correcting myself from earlier, it was not 501 I heard rumbling around at 04:30. It was a 302 or 303 coming south. They are sitting at Cowling right now with a MONSTER size train. They had to split the train. Part of it is in the siding while the power and the rest of the train is sitting on the main. The train was too long to stay all connected and fit between CP Cowling and CP Park. I've never seen them have to do this before.ThreeRiversChris wrote:Grand Elk 501 just cleared CP Cowling.

Re: Michigan Shortlines April 2015
Grand Elk just went north through TR. Sounded like an NS leader. Can anyone confirm?
Re: Michigan Shortlines April 2015
Heads up on the west side of the Huron and Eastern. HESR has a loaded unit grain train waiting at Hartsell Road just east of Elkton. Immediately behind the 8802 and 3865 was a CNW excess height box followed by 50+ covered hoppers. I was with the wife and kid on our way to dinner, so one quick picture was as far as I was going to press my luck.

GRHC - you know every night I can imagine he is in front of his computer screen sitting in his underwear swearing profusely and drinking Blatz beer combing the RailRoadFan website for grammatical errors.
