Z152-30 Dept Grand Rapids 0332 with 63 cars.

Released Grand Rapids Yard limit at 0405 GPD.

Nice show up Comstock Hill, with those two Geeps pulling hard to keep the tonnage rolling. Crew estimated 3800 trailing tons...not sure what exactly is nominal for a par of GP38-2's, but it can't be too much more. Hope they make it up the grade at Newago. Only work northbound was a car to be dropped at Newago. Then hot shot to Baldwin.

This week's Z151 crew will be our very own Roller Goalie along with a supporting role from one of the "up north guys". Also, word has it that the GMTX 2635 will be regular power for the week, so get your shots IF you can.

This foamer is off to a land of Geeps and SD's that never break down or get Frah'd... Goodnight!!

Looks quiet again today at the GRE. The Radisson minivan delivered the 371 crew at 6:45. With the wind out of the east, I heard Z151 whistling the westside real clear this morning. Maybe I should complain since they woke me up

Y107 came out of North Yard and backed-down the Toledo Wye to East Yard at 2:15pm. CSX 2675 is the the power and no Chessie caboose with him today.

Coal into Essexville this evening with BNSF 6050 and 8961. Had the older CSCX cars on it. Empties are heading back towards Flint tonight so look for those engines on E945 tomorrow.
