HESR 702 holding just outside of Durand for CN R944 to depart the yard at 18:30 with HESR 3390/HESR 3865

Yeah - no idea as to why

Sounds like Marquette Rail is in GR and heading south at 10:40am

11:00 NB GDLK 303 MP81 Wayland. Approx 15 cars.
11:35 still hear him working in town.

Grand Elk north through Byron Center at 12:10pm. WAMX 4189, WAMX 4209, and 13 cars. Think they dropped a couple tank cars at Bay Valley in Wayland. 1 tank car on the headend with boxcars trailing.

No jail z646 on Fuesday but we did have one on Wednesday. They did gl as far as Saginaw Yard before heading back to Mason, departing around 13:50 from Ensel.

HESR 771 was NB thru Lennon with 3484 leading and the unit grain train around 17:00. This followed the HESR 701/745 rocket job.

Grand Elk Job 303 northbound at 54th St crossing at 6:44pm with a visual video. WAMX #4189 + WAMX #4209 and 14 cars (2 tankers, 1 CH, 11 boxcars)

A surprising run that caught me off guard as I heard this train heading north 8 hours ago.

Crazy right Andy? Third passing of that train in the past 12 hours, truly unusual.

The engine releasing or getting an EC-1 is always leading.

So after the triple Grand Elk runs yesterday, they head south this morning with WAMX 4209, WAMX 4189, WAMX 4002 lite power through Byron Center at 9:41am.

GRE just headed west from Lowell around 11:45a. No visual.

I hear them again in Lowell. Not sure if they returned or are really leaving this time. I am not mobile today to check.
