When I retire I will do a poorer job reporting on the GRE. I currently check them 2 times a day M-F to and from work. Pretty routine, CSX delivers cuts of Kings, GRE takes them east when they can get a crew from either Muskegon or Alma. Occasionally there's a car for Amway

When I retire, I can check Lowell more often, but I will miss the yard at Ann Street.

Grand Elk south through Byron Center at 12:01pm. WAMX 4125, WAMX 4209, and 64ish cars. Sun just popped out, nice fall foliage. Will probably rain again soon, but would have been nice to photo that one. Only took them about 21 hours to turn around and head south from yesterday's northbound run.
