I believe that tie and resurfacing work has been completed from Grandville mp6 to East Saugatuck. The MOW equipment is at Waverly awaiting pick-up.

Had to revive this post. Welded rail replacement in Grandville under the I-196 overpass just west of Buck Creek. That section of curve is getting new rail. Watched them off load the rail there yesterday.

Just finished installing the new welded rail section in Grandville. They were inspecting their work.

I think this is a curve patch gang, they were also setting down rail in the Waverly Wye area and on Saugatuck Hill, I think.
