GRE WB across the Grand River around 2:30pm. This morning there was a line of King hoppers near the AMWAY spur. Around 5:00pm, there was a line of hoppers on the E/W siding along the mainline, east of Hudson/Segwun, S.O. Lowell (3 looked like they could be AMWAY cars) and two tracks of hoppers in Lowell near King.

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

1 hopper and 2 tanks along the AMWAY spur tonight. Too cold to check King Milling, but I know they went east today and the Ann Street yard is not as full as it was with loads.
