Hmm... It's 2:35, GDLK is between 84th and 92nd in Byron Center, parked. Not sure what's up.Tankcar123 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 13, 2022 1:33 pmNorthbound GDLK working Wayland.

Still parked at 2:55pm. Either 4189 or 4125 seems to have a higher pitched whining noise I don't recall hearing, but then again, i usually don't hear them idling. Not close enough to see well, but didn't appear derailed or anything. Headlights and ditchlights are on, train stretched across the Buck Creek bridge.
On the move north with 33 cars at 3:42pm.
