4215, 3925, 4049 (?) SB approaching Barton Drive 9:32 am. with not too many random cars. They brought a long CSX grain train up earlier.

Which railroad might this be?

From the engine numbers I’d guess GDLK

Ann Arbor sorry didn’t realize the poster didn’t actually say AARR in the post.

10:25 - JAIL was heard over the scanner toning CN and CSX. Must be a run up to Ensel at least. Unknown location or power.

What I presume is a Northbound movement on JAIL clear Pennsylvania Ave/Arelius Rd. No visual.

12:47 GDLK nb with WAMX 4125 and WAMX 4206 dropping 4 cars at mp 81.
1:01 Rolling nb with 28 cars. May have work for Bay Valley.

Grand Elk north through Byron Center at 3:45pm. WAMX 4125, WAMX 4206, and 31 cars. Mix of boxcars, covered hoppers, tank cars, a tall open hopper, and a couple steel coil cars.

GDLK @ 6:08pm heading southbound. I’m hearing their distance horn around 44th St. no visual or count of cars

Louder horns heard at 6:12pm, assuming crossing 54th

GDLK went south about 6:25 with wamx 4206 leading a 2nd loco, maybe 10 cars.

Grand Elk(?) @ 11:18pm warbled horn heard in the distance around 54th.

Yup, you beat me to it Andy. 22 cars and I believe that the green open hopper was an Amtrak ballast car.

Sorry, I got bored this morning and decided to check in the Elkhart cam. Commenters mentioned Grand Elk so I decided to stick around to see.

Grand Elk just went back by the Elkhart cam on its way to Kalamazoo with WAMX 4225 and WAMX 4189 leading 28 cars. A mix of tank cars and box cars. All of the tank cars were sandwiched between two strings of box cars.

Anyone know where the "Coopersville Monorail" is?
