Note: M326-03 didn't run overnight.

​Amtrak P371-04 @ 07:27:30 westward on the live cam N. Center St crossing Bangor, Mi mp CG60.35 with IDTX engine #4628 & 3 SuperLiners with 13 passengers On at the station mp CG60.5

Amtrak P371-04 @ 08:17 westward reported by the Defect Detector site mp CG91.9 St. Joseph, Mi with 16 axles & 307 feet long.

R597-03 @ 08:20 westward Holland Depot mp CG25.3 with CSX engines #718 + #253 + CN engine #5467 + UP engine #6421 & 116 empty coal cars. He’ll go into Wells Siding mp CG41.4 & tie down the CN + UP engines & the empty coal cars & then take the CSX power to Grand Junction siding mp CG54 to pick up the C801-02 that had tied down there this morning. My guess is, maybe, the next “E Train” will be taking the CN + UP engines to Chicago & maybe run as is without BNSF engines.

GR local working the businesses along Beverly (SW side of GR) right now.
JT have you been looking at old maps again?
For those of you who don’t know Beverly is at approximately mp CG5.0 /Lamar in the vicinity of PCA and Buzzi cement located in Grandville MI.

Note: the GR H & C as well as the P.M. Acme lead ran through Beverly
MI. And to the north was the Pere Marquette Chicago-Grand Rapids main line and to the west was the Kalamazoo-Grand Rapids line which eventually was owned by the Penn Central railway.

I was going to ask “Beverly?” Thanks for clarification GR H & C. Think it was a Y195 local engine doing some switches at that industrial spur yard.
