About 15-20 CP hoppers south of Lowell, and another 20 -30 or so in Lowell by King. Looks like they are doing some track work by King also.

Lowell yard is full of hoppers; 30 or more. 5 south of town along Grand River. Based on the track, I think they are empties.

Last night West Michigan, among other things, pulled a loaded reefer and spotted an empty for loading at Hanson's. Who would've ever thought reefers would return to the old KLS&C!
