Re: Shortline Train Location Updates - October 2022
Thanks for the heads up Andy. One of my nephews (3 year old)is over and was playing with our wooden train set upstairs. Told him a real train was coming soon, so he ran outside and waited for GDLK to pass south at 6:49pm, 4124, 4125 and maybe 20ish cars.
He was most happy and excited.

Nope, what was alight?
In unrelated news, there are two empty centerbeams at the lumber place on Fruit Ridge Ave awaiting pickup from the Coop and Marne. In semi-related news to that, for anyone who gets Standard and Standale Lumbers confused, there is but a single empty centerbeam awaiting L301 pickup in Grandville.
