I saw RJ Coreman trucks westbound on I96 near Howell about 9:00 this morning.LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Fri Oct 20, 2023 5:32 pmhttps://www.wlns.com/news/train-derailm ... t-lansing/
JAIL Z646 today rolled some rail next to the Outback Off-Road auto repair. Oh the irony.

Then saw the same eastbound around 1 pm near Brighton.
They got their work done about as quick as I got my non railroad related work done in Plymouth.

I’m jealous of the Michigan Shore road crew, the crew on the MQT Ludington Sub, and the south end of the MQT Baldwin Sub. Some great colors out there competing with the orange G&W power!

It sounds like the GDLK is out working early again this morning. Presumably will be northbound like yesterday.
Trails to Rails. Put the track back.

Grand elk south through Byron Center at 5:57pm..wamx 4209 and 4190 with 31 cars.
Guessing they got recrewed in GR if Jim heard them around 5am this morning. Makes sense on the long turnaround time today before the southbound run.

When I crossed the tracks at 6:45AM they were idling just south of M-89 with the headlight dimmed. I didn't get a number.

I am hearing train horns in the distance around Wyoming 54th to 36th areas at this time 11:24am. Possibly Grand Elk?
