You're welcome

JAIL ran overnight north to the CN interchange and CSX as well. They didn’t have a daytime crew available so they did the northbound run at night. Picked up two coil cars at CSX and six boxcars at CN.

HESR WB from Caro at 10:55. Power was a pair of orange Geeps. Should be just south of Watrousville now on their way to Vassar.

Different HESR job but they are lining out of Durand back to Saginaw at 15:15

I went up to Broman to see how the repairs were going on Marquette Rail this morning. The cars had been pulled clear of the track and only a short section of rail was missing. There was a crew on site and it looked like it would be repaired today.
Here is a video of stills I took.

Grand elk North through Byron Center at 6:10pm. Looked like 3 motors, about 25 cars.

Back south at 8:40pm with 4206 and a second loco, 32ish cars. 4206 LHF.

As of 16:00, MMRR 2019 was LHF tied down facing northbound parked at Reenders along US31, with about 8 ballast hoppers and about 3 tanks + 3 sand covered hoppers on the tail.

Cars on multiple tracks in the GRE Ann St. yard, including one loaded center beam. Hopefully an EB tomorrow.

As of yesterday, MQT 2041 (orange) and 2042 (yellow) were assigned to Manistee, and MMRR 2057 (orange) and MQT 2040 (yellow) were assigned to Ludington. 3391 was also at the Manistee roundhouse. 3406, 2044 (yellow) and another SD are currently on the Sparta turn, which did not run yesterday due to continued derailment cleanup.

JAIL this morning was spotted NB facing in Mason with three csx boxcars and one NS coil car, csx boxcars for Ensel and the NS coil for RSDC.

If you look up a couple posts, they mentioned the train was parked south of Grand Haven, facing northbound for a bit.

Indeed, I've seen the posts. Maybe they went south earlier in the week.

Grand Elk north through Byron Center at 12:29pm. WAMX 4124, WAMX 4189, and 25ish cars.

Back south at 2:46pm, about 20 cars, same power.

Indiana northeastern working sungro currently. 2 engines and 6 black tanks. Looks like one hopper for sungro maybe and a gon behind that 1538

A little late, but GRE made two trips east yesterday and the yard in GR is still full. Lowell has cars on 3 tracks in town. Too dark to see the tracks along the River.
