On the Plymouth Sub, there’s the Thornapple Bridge where L303 and L302 crosses daily. Little bit of a drive from Lansing

46 cars…wow. As I headed west on Burton over the tracks the train was extended back into the yard near the office, so I figured it ended there. It must have been stretched much further back than I could see for that brief moment. Yeah I was thinking like 30 cars as you mentioned and then I recounte...

Thanks for the update! I’ve been waiting for this train since 6:30pm LOL😂 I do hear a faint horn in the distance at 7:26pm, somewhere at 44th St Yup, rolling SB now. Sitting on my deck and I can hear them blowing…from the angle, probably 36th or 44th. I really hope nothing tragic happens as the tra...

Another strong train horn heard in downtown Grand Rapids right now at 15:45. Sounded like Marquette Rail’s or could be Grand Elk.

Marquette Rail horns heard in Grand Rapids at 12:38pm, unknown what direction of travel

You sure? I've only ever seen the yard jobs switch those spots. Yes I'm sure. Sometimes when I hear Grand Elk 303 heading northbound from Bryon Center, I would sometimes hear the horns at 68th St if the wind blows in the right direction then stop right before 54th St. Then I would hear blowing horn...

GRE already westbound thru Ada at 09:41. Lots of King empties.

I missed the EB, but I didn’t see many loads in the yard last evening.

Lite power for GRE this morning

M510-25 earlier today @ 9:27 on the Deshler Cam with CSX #3338 + CSX #309 YN2 and roughly 90-140 cars

X510-25 @ 17:09 on the Deshler Cam had CSX #3444 solo with 127 mixed cars (probably mostly empty cars)

Yet again, I was late by 20 minutes and got trackside after the train passed. I’m seeing what looks like 2 boxcars on the Padnos spur track / siding south of 44th St and north of 50th St Gordon Food Services Truck depots. Probably delivered by Grand Elk 303 or another local
