Grand Elk south Wyoming 54th St at 3:13pm. Very clear horn blasts heard from my home. WAMX 4125 and WAMX 4017 assumed engines
Grand Elk south through Byron Center at 3:19pm. Louder blasts maybe as a different loco setup:
WAMX 4009, WAMX 4124, and WAMX 4125 with 34 cars.

Grand Elk just went past the Elkhart cam towards the Elkhart yard. Led by WAMX 4209 and WAMX 4189 with 27 cars in tow.
Back towards Kalamazoo at 11:15am with WAMX 4189 leading and WAMX 4209 with 60 cars in tow. Mostly box cars with some covered hoppers, tank cars, a loaded center beam, and a loaded extra tall hopper car sprinkled in.

Nice, just saw footage of both train runs.
Grand Elk heading into Elkhart Yard had some interesting High Top NS hoppers, which I've never seen before
Grand Elk hearing to Kalamazoo had lots of boxcars indeed, and I'm curious where they are going to load utility poles for those 2 empty bulkhead flat cars with guards on the side.

GRHC - you know every night I can imagine he is in front of his computer screen sitting in his underwear swearing profusely and drinking Blatz beer combing the RailRoadFan website for grammatical errors.
