Ugh, guess I’m going to miss this train too. Waited 10 minutes at 54th St to see any activity. Felt awkward parking at a business and left.

Perhaps park at Ideal Park just south of 54th st? This time of year with no leaves on the trees, should be able to watch GDLK fine. Hasn't strolled by Byron Center yet, but I'm sure it's getting close based on Tankcar's post.

DCON ran yesterday.

JAIL ran SB to NS overnight

Today, JAIL is NB in Lansing at CP Cedar. They already worked the Mason transloads, RSDC and Harris Rebar on their way north. Since CN worked the interchange yesterday they have cars to pick up at CN and CSX.
