Long train? The ash cars are starting to flow again with the clog on the Plymouth sub coming to an end.

Re: Shortline Updates January 2021
Grand Elk north through Byron Center at 2:55pm, bit earlier than normal. WAMX 4124 and WAMX 4209 leading I think 12 cars. A covered hopper, 10 tank cars, and a empty hopper on the rear.
Job 303 was south through Byron Center at 4:55pm, WAMX 4209 and WAMX 4124 and about 40 cars. Good string of about 20 boxcars on the headend. Wifey said there was a lot of graffiti on those Thx for the headsup Robert.

Re: Shortline Updates January 2021
Grand Elk north through Byron Center at 5:11pm. WAMX 4206 and WAMX 4124 elephant style with about 25 cars. 4209 was swapped out for 4206 it appears.
Back south with two locos at 7:12pm, only about 7 cars with them. Almost looked like the front loco was not running long hood forward, so maybe they grabbed a different loco or wyed it downtown. Couldn't see the loco numbers, but my son did try running to pace it through the backyard.

Re: Shortline Updates January 2021
GRE just blew through Kulross Rd in Ada...must be the Muskegon crew out playing around at this hour?
01:04 ET: they’re working the pass here in Ada. Horn heard a bit ago suggests they did go into Amway. Cut of Wheaties in the hole. Not really sure what their plans are.

Re: Shortline Updates January 2021
The GRE/MMRR/MS schedule is all screwed up due to some of their employees being off work with Covid.

Re: Shortline Updates January 2021
Any idea if they will return to the usual schedule in the near future? Interested to know what the future may hold

Re: Shortline Updates January 2021
Well, I'm sure they'll return when their employees return.
