Marquette went north at Comstock Park around 12:30 today. Not sure if they were late or early, but haven't seen them around noon for a long time. 3 locomotives, about 38 cars, mostly hoppers and grey tanks.

Grand Elk creeping to a stop just south of Downtown Wayland headed NB. Looks like 4189 on lead.
This is my life. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

If this is a problem get used to it.
