Grand Elk @ 8:36am horn heard in the distance at Wyoming area, presumably WAMX 4206 heading south?

Would not guess it's WAMX 4206 as that went south yesterday. Perhaps you mean WAMX 4189, and it's working industries on the south side of Grand Rapids?

Yeah, you probably right. I can not keep up with the different engine switching around from their trips. I did see 3 engines at the yard 2 days ago. All have similar horns

Marquette northbound with 3 SDs and 62 cars at 6 mile in Comstock Park. Stopping to switch QLF.

LSRC Z127 south by Clyde @ 2:10 PM with LSRC 6432 + 6302 and 90 cars of loaded grain.

Grand Elk north through Byron Center at 3:58pm. WAMX 4125, WAMX 4124, and 25ish cars.

Thanks for the heads up! I’ll catch their southbound trip later this evening

GDLK south Wyoming 54th St. WAMX 4124 and WAMX 4125 and 15 ish cars at 6:53pm

South through Byron center at 7:01pm, 4124, 4125 and 10 cars. Tank cars, box cars and covered hoppers.

Down here at the Kalamazoo night farmers market and the Grand Elk just went past north towards downtown led by WAMX 3807 and WAMX 3808 with 22 cars. A mix of box cars, empty center beams and a few tank cars.

HESR 3036/3866/3867 brought down a P&H corn or soybean train last night to Durand.

ZFS/GLC/HESR have used a P&H train in the last month as a soybean shuttle so unsure if this will be headed out via CN or going up to GLC.

Grand Elk horn of a WAMX engine heard in the distance in Wyoming Area. Probably doing some switching cars around at 8:45am? I can’t tell what direction they are heading but they are blowing their horn in Wyoming

Grand Elk just went past the Elkhart cam heading back towards Kalamazoo with WAMX 4225 and WAMX 4209 and 16 cars. Mostly box cars but a couple hopper cars and tank cars mixed in.

Z627-19 os Grand Haven Depot 12:56. MMRR 2170 leading MMRR 2019 northbound

Grand Elk north through Byron Center at 1:19pm. WAMX 4125, WAMX 4124, and 24ish cars. Boxcars, tank cars and covered hoppers.

Back south on a quick turnaround at 3:17pm. WAMX 4124, WAMX 4125 and 17 cars.

Cross post: EB A492 with 3 CN and 3 LSRC ex-UP units by MP 205 YouTube cam at 09:44. LSRC 6433, 6434, 6430.

Grand Elk horn heard near 76th St @ 10:11pm, heading north. I think it is WAMX 4225 and WAMX 4224 leading and ??? cars. I can hear their engine noise from 2 miles.

Arriving 68th St at 10:15pm and horns stopped after. Probably they tied train down

Didn't hear them come back south last night..not saying they didn't, but Grand Elk north through Byron Center at 10:24am this morning, pretty early. WAMX 4125, WAMX 4124, and 22 cars, mostly covered hoppers.

I think they ran out of duty time and they tied the train down near Bryon Center last night when I heard it. Didn’t hear any horns after 68th.

Z627-23 is running today

Z739-23 @ 11:22 being called by RN Dispatcher.
