Shortline Train Location Updates - December 2022
Grand Elk went by the Elkhart cam towards the Elkhart yard at 9:35am. Led by WAMX 4189 and WAMX 4209 both long hood forward with 52 cars in tow. A mix of box cars, tank cars, covered hoppers and empty regular hopper cars.
Sorry Z, I didn’t see a thread started for the Shortline location updates yet so I started one. If you want to delete this and move my comment to an official Shortline thread for December that is fine with me.

Grand Elk blowing at 32nd in GR. Not sure if inbound or outbound.
Edit: SB. Now blowing at 44th.
Wow, the horn is really carrying tonight. I’m near 28th and can still hear them, which I’m guessing is the 68th St crossing.

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.

Grand elk south through Byron Center at 5:44, wamx 4124 leading a 2nd locomotive with 20 cars.
Agreed JT. I'm indoors, and even with my hearing, I heard them blowing at 104th and then Clyde Park near landfill clearly, and can still hear the locos rumbling too. South wind today.
Wow, heard them at 6:26 while on deck cooking.. maybe getting done switching Moline .. crazy.
