GRE just arrived in Lowell. I might go check on it in awhile. Usually here for a couple hours. Probably a lot of empties to return.

This lets you pull up a map, click on any two points, and see the distance between as the crow flies. Can also make a lot of clicks following a satellite photo to make it more accurate. Took a quick look at it, about 5.5 miles.

They were moving grain cars north of M-21 and it looked like possibly moving out the hoppers that have been stored there for the last several months.

GRE WB late around 4:00pm over the Grand River in GR; I think they had 14-15 hoppers, including at least one in front from Amway.
