Re: Shortlines Train Location Heads Up - November 2023
Unsure if last night’s Grand Elk went south. I drove by this morning pass Hughart Yard and saw 5 engines sitting. I didn’t hear any train horns from 6-11pm
Grand Elk Z439 has WAMX #3534(?) and WAMX #4009 back to back.
Another pair of engines was back to back on the outside left side tracks by the engine shed.
1 solo WAMX engine sits on the tracks towards the right side of the engine shed.
Assuming today’s GDLK has WAMX 4225 and WAMX 4209 per FB post and YouTube video

Ditto on all counts, north through Byron Center at 12:54pm. Both locos facing north, might have a LHF 4190 leading the train south then.Tankcar123 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 30, 2023 12:17 pm12:15 NB GDLK 303 mp81 Wayland. WAMX 4189 and WAMX 4190 with 35 cars.

GRE returned WB around noon over the river, with 3 from King.
Re: Shortlines Train Location Heads Up - November 2023
I guess the two units I saw moving about were just some extra power in the yard? Hmm...

Those two units are for Z439 and Z739 crews to use. Interchange with CSX at Wyoming Yard and at the GDLK Transload Yard north of Fuller
