I don't pay attention much to 301's movements. Did they do some work in Holland? I caught the tail end of the train on the webcam passing the depot and there were at least two empty lumber cars, which I don't see on the train in Andy's video.
Those 2 empty cars are bulkhead flatcars. I have never seen them carry lumber

L301 carries many lumber cars. Standale Lumber in Grandville, along with cars for Deluuw Lumber in Holland and Zeeland Lumber in Zeeland all travel on 301. The bulkhead flats are also a type of lumber, loaded with boards that go to Lumberman’s, also in Holland.
