Grand Elk north through Byron Center at 2:44pm. WAMX 4189, WAMX 4009, WAMX 4209, and 10 cars. All ending in "9." People were sitting in all three locos.
Just drove by Hughart Yard at 4:45pm and saw WAMX #4189 and WAMX #4009 working hard as white smoke filled the air pulling an unknown amount of cars. I only saw boxcars on head end, did not see the rest. Maybe they dropped off WAMX #4209 prior to my drive by?
Edit: I thought I heard a faint horn at 6:25pm while I was biking around

This is an empty tanker train headed to Webb Chemical in Muskegon Heights, MI.
36 loads….but it’s an empty tanker train? Ok. And no, that train is not going directly to Webb.
My bad, alr? I wasn’t thinking. I meant they would take the cars down atleast 5-10 at a time, forgive me. I didn’t think about that.
