Grand elk south through Byron Center at 7:38pm with WAMX 4206 long hood forward solo... Weird.... Loco sounded like it had a flat spot.

Back north with some loco, probably 4206, and probably 15 cars at 10:25pm. Byron Center was having their fireworks show finale as the train was rolling through my backyard. Between each car, could see a blaze of fireworks going off...that was awesome.
