MS Z627-01 os Grand Haven TWP MMRR 2170 leading Southbound No Visual 09:34

I'm unsure if anyone can see if 2019 is also on this train, Rumors are that it died in North Yard last weekend.

As of 8am, saw Grand Elk's power still tied up in the yard in Grand Rapids, so they never came back south on Monday. I'd expect a southbound daytime run this afternoon to Kalamazoo, if they run like they did last week.

GRE WB in GR into the yard with ~11 or 12 from King. 2 loaded center beams in the yard, so they may go west eventually.

As presumed, Grand Elk south through Byron Center at 1:32pm. WAMX 4124, WAMX 4125, and HLCX 3834 with 55 cars. HLCX was the red unit that's now headed off of the Grand Elk property. Not that it's ran by recently, but it's too bad that more of the colorful lineup is heading away.

MQT headed north around 1:30 at Turner St. Stopped to switch so I had to leave. Not sure how many cars, 40+.

No sorry I was driving at the time. Looking for anything in particular?

Thank you for not getting in an accident . Typically they have several box cars for G-P and occasionally several covered hoppers for ADS.

The Elk is in Plainwell at the moment. Been here for a little while. I heard them earlier on the radio with what sounded like switching, but never saw them. The signal was not as good before as it is now, and no EOT could be heard at that time. I wonder if they switched Martin today. The Otsego cars were already in Plainwell, so they weren't there.

GR 2104 is being brought up to Manistee for some engine work, MQT 2042 was assigned to the GRE to take its place in the meantime. Power swap was done yesterday.
