Grand Elk north through Byron Center at 5:12pm. WAMX 4206 and WAMX 4017 with 18 cars. Oddly they stopped at Buck Creek bridge for a few mins. Lots of exhaust as they sat. Pulled forward slowly then got up to speed. Couple that with the MOW truck parking behind my house for 10ish mins today for a little bit of a change.
Back south with 4017, 4206, and 43 cars. Slowed down again a bunch behind the house, and slowly went over the Buck Creek bridge between 84th and 92nd.
Edit: took a gander today, and pretty sure a couple of trees had fallen on the tracks and were chopped up by MOW yesterday. Probably a slow order to check things over.
