D701 has an approach at the EE Lake Odessa. Not sure why they aren't lined past. Currently creeping through town.

Edit: they are all stopped on the main between the lights at the lake Odessa siding.
RN trying to reach a specific employee. Must be someone with track time.

Edit: back on the move at 15:26
interested in trains

N800-17 with BNSF 6314 leading east has an Approach Limited at Vine at 16:05.

6882 feet, 532 axles at 91.9 DD. Slow train, took 5 minutes to get over the DD. Sounds like they are working on the bridge again today.

SB grain train just cleared 7 Mile Rd. Scanner was silent. CSX 7712 + 427 + 91 covered hoppers. There were more than a dozen, maybe 20 Soo Line hoppers (white, with the wheat ear logo) scattered throughout.

As of 9:30am, heard pushers going west to Wells to help Q326 up Saugatuck hill. Y121 was prepping to go onto the dock track in Holland, and D70018 was still working on departing Wyoming Yard westbound, might have been working cement in Grandville. Y106 was expected to depart east within 30 mins.
