Found K911 (stone train) in the siding at Holland - CSX 4696 and 7522 C40-8. Took some pics, and along came X500 - CP 6068, 9601, 9604.
After they cleared, K911 called out "siding to main, switch is in motor".
They got rolling past the Holland depot and then stopped - I heard them call that they were stopped at 12th Street - obstruction on tracks. Trainmaster Capriglione doing a banner (flag) test.

Pics later.

D80325 south at Riley St. 1:47 PM - light power. BNSF 8881, 9724.
West - clear Holland depot 2:00 PM.

Please do not poke at the ramp agent because he has the power to make your vacation
memorable or miserable. It all depends on what flight you bags go on.

N921 heading to West Olive with CSX 203 leading. Went through Plymouth around 4:15pm-ish. There was also a grain train (Didn't catch the symbol) heading for Grand Ledge that was about an hour before N921.
"...and I was in the front and Matt grabbed and pulled my ears from behind me and made horsey sounds."

Ahh, you got it! Looks like it snuck past Zack's magic 8 ball. :wink:

I got your call about 500, but was already on the highway en route to Chicago and forgot to turn the ringer on my back up. Looks like I should have taken Chicago Dr. to Holland instead.
