Must have stopped for a nap. They were leaving Plainwell about 6:30am, right before I went to work.

Didn't see the Elk, but did hear them in Plainwell about 8:00 or a bit later. Horn sounded like it came from the north.

Re: Shortline Train Location Updates March 2022
I am standing outside right now (9:25pm) and can hear the Elk chugging along. It’s amazing how well the sound of those engines travel. I live on the other side of 131 but can usually here them when they are in Plainwell and the D Ave crossing. I can usually hear them blasting the horns as they get into Kalamazoo also. Living up on this hill has its advantages.
