Milepost 82 is downtown wayland, 81 is on the south side of Wayland. Grand elk north through Byron Center at 2:30 p.m.
In case it's helpful, here's basically every milepost of every railroad in the USA, map form so easy to find the local mileposts: https://fragis.fra.dot.gov/GISFRASafety/

Hearing a train horn in the distance of Wyoming 54th to 44th St areas right now. No visual on the train(?). I am pretty sure it is a train. Maybe around 36th st now

GDLK sent an empty stone train back to NS. It was on the Elkhart VRF cam at 14:25 with NS 3654/NS ####. On NS it turns into train 63F, heads down the Marion Branch to Wabash and on to Richvalley to the quarry here:

Re: Shortlines Train Location Heads Up - October 2023
Hearing the GDLK EOT telemetry in Plainwell. It's been there for a bit so I presume they're in Otsego Usually that means they'll be northbound when they're done.
Trails to Rails. Put the track back.
