Not much room left in Lowell for more cars. Probably will leave some south of town.

GRE WB returned late afternoon (~4:00pm) with about 23 cars, looked like 5 including 3 tanks were from AMWAY. It seems like AMWAY is starting to get a few more cars, but I have not kept a good count.

Interesting.. I haven't seen a car spotted at L&W Supply in months when I've been in that area. Haven't seen any of the product that is dropped off from these cars in their back staging area either. Good news if they are continuing to receive loads.MQT1223 wrote:Grand Elk is preparing to go down the Hastings Lead...
Just heard their horn at 4:12pm.
Checked at 9pm and two loaded cars were spotted, TTZX 861949 and TTZX 863765.

Yeah they apparently had a seasonal uptick in traffic late last year. Last time they got a carload was in February. It comes and goes in waves.~Z~ wrote:Interesting..

GRE currently working Precision Poly. Sounds like they will be taking their train to Ada and leaving it in the siding while they head back to Grand Rapids for more cars. Should be a sizable train into Lowell today.

Re: Michigan Shortline Updates - April 2019
GRE is parked south of Lowell, probably for the night, pointed west with a long line of most likely empties. 2 hoppers parked along the mainline by the AMWAY spur in Ada.
