I think GRE is in Lowell now. Sounds like it anyway.

Looks like GRE left 15 or so CP/SOO hoppers in Lowell overnight.

Re: Shortline Updates January 2021
The addition of those 2 huge bins at King Milling need to be filled . It definitely hs increased the inbound traffic. The area sure looks different with the old elevator behind the brewery on M-21 at the corner gone.

Re: Shortline Updates January 2021
Grand Elk north at Byron Center at 3:58pm. WAMX 4225 and WAMX 4125 with 39 cars. Mostly boxcars and hoppers, a steel coil car, and a couple loaded centerbeams, perhaps for L&W supply off Roger B Chaffee. 4225 is the first non-black paint loco I've seen past here so far.
Back south at 5:40pm with 13 cars, same locos. All tank cars, empty gons and covered hoppers.
