SB JAIL at CP Cedar. CN told them they've gotta wait for a WB, most likely M399. JAIL ran to CSX and CN today with interchange work at both RRs.

Drove by the Elk GR yard today. There was a long line of box cars on the outside track along the freeway. Are those storage, or for Otsego or to PCA in Manistee?

Re: Shortline Train Location Updates - January 2024
Not sure how Grand Elk sets up their inbound and outbound freights. The tracks closest to the freeway looked like storage tracks every time I drive by. The 3 tracks closest to that trucking storage area is where I usually see the interchange for CSX cars comes and goes. (I may be wrong about this as I drive by constantly)Plannerdad wrote: ↑Tue Jan 02, 2024 10:17 pmDrove by the Elk GR yard today.

Grand Elk heading southbound, blowing horns through 44th St at 11:20pm. No visual as I’m prepping for bed, very loud leasing engine heard

Grand Elk arrived at Hughart Yard around 2:30pm and I just drove by the yard too. Saw 2 long string of cars sitting on the far end of the tracks along with a line of cars next to the freeway, which Plannerdad mentioned earlier

Facebook photo showing ADBF GP9 1751 on NS B25 yesterday heading east from Jackson. The first of the high hood GP9s to depart JAIL for its new owners in Mexico was one of the original Adrian and Blissfield geeps.

GDLK telemetry about 5:30 or 6:00 this morning in Plainwell. Sounds like an early morning run north.
Trails to Rails. Put the track back.
