GRE EB clear Leonard/Plainfield. Came upon the tail end, guessing at least a dozen cars.

2 loaded center-beams in the yard now.

GRE EB clear Leonard/Plainfield. Came upon the tail end, guessing at least a dozen cars.

2 loaded center-beams in the yard now.

GRE WB over the Grand at KCRC; looks like 8 from King and 1 from Amway.

Grand Elk south through Byron Center at 3:47pm with WAMX 4124, GMTX 2204(blue unit, maybe being returned to owner and leaving property), and WAMX 4125 with 13 cars. Just tank cars and covered hoppers.

Z151 is entering Wyoming Yard with 3389 and 3408. Wondering if they've gone back to an evening schedule? Good size train.

GRE yard has more loads for King and 2 empty center beams on the interchange track tonight.

Late GDLK report from yesterday, January 11. Around 2:30pm at Three Rivers, both the northbound road freight with the 4209 and 4189 and the southbound local train with the 3808, 4002 and 4009 were tied down between CP Park and CP Cowling just north of town.
At the Andersons grain elevator southwest of White Pigeon, a loaded grain train was being put together. NS 4004 was the only power. It had departed toward Elkhart by 4pm.

Grand Elk north through Byron Center at 2:39pm. WAMX 4125, WAMX 4124, and 42 cars. Approx 15 covered hoppers, 15 tank cars, 10 box cars and a single loaded centerbeam with lumber on it.

Back south with WAMX 4124, WAMX 4125, and something like 40 cars about 6pm.

HESR started along Port Huron wye at 15:18 after arriving to Durand. #3484, #3414, #3038

Been a good while for seeing #3038. Kind of snuck into the rotation. Unsure when.

16:24 ---- proceeding NB out of Durand

MS? Northbound departing Waverly yard @16:32 MM #2019 GP38-2 + MM #2170 GP38-2 + 25 cars … if somebody could let me know what the train symbol is for that particular train that would be great thanks

That would be Z627 for while it's on CSX trackage, per the wiki: http://railroadfan.com/wiki/index.php/M ... R,_MS,_GRE

JAIL was NB today w 1760/1758 thru Holt so they are running LHF again as the good lord intended. 13 coils from RSDC in Holt for CSX. A nice variety of Conrail CoilShields, CSX one and two hood coils and even a hybrid coil with one hood CSX and one hood NS.

Based on hearing the horn, I believe the Elk is in Otsego That would indicate a probable run to GR later.

Another GDLK run north today? Certainly could happen; has happened a couple times in the past.

RS102 NBD by Cone Rd with 4049 and 3809 at 7:13AM

Z627-12? os Grand Haven (Northbound?*) MMRR 2019 leading MMRR 2170 trail 08:59...

I never heard Z627 come back yesterday, might have tied down near 34.5?

Michigan Shore RR Updates:
Z627-12 Southbound: MMRR #2019, MMRR #2170
Z627-13 Northbound: MMRR #2019, MMRR #2170

Do you know when these trains were seen, and where, and perhaps a length of the train - car count or what type of cars were on the train?

Grand Elk north through Byron Center at 3:17pm. WAMX 4125, WAMX 4124, and 10 tank cars.
