There were track gangs in Zeeland at lunch time, they were at several crossings in town Odd, I've had my web scanner feed on most of the day here at work and have not heard anything about track work any where. I heard the RN talking to 2 different track inspectors this AM coming to work giving one ...

I think they've changed the times on some trains to get them around the work being done between GR-Porter. Although haven't seen any ballast trains, I'd think they'd be out tamping and other track maintenance. They have ties laid at almost every grade crossing from Grandville to Holland. Haven't bee...

I heard W05926 clearing Ivanrest around 9:30am. They checked with the flagman at 7.0 for permission through their work limits. Anyone know where they are dumping this ballast? I am wondering if CSX isn't working on the connection near Porter. Could explain the annulled westbounds out of GR. Just a t...

Haven't seen cars painted in Wyoming in like 20 years. Normally the shop would work on cars that required more work than the RIP could give them but less than a full overhaul. Once the work was done they used to be sent to Huntington (box cars, gons, cabeese) or Tampa (covered hoopers) for paint. By...

Any word on when this will leave Hughart Yard in GR? Last show as today at 2:00pm. I would think they would load and go as their next show is Lexington KY on the 25th.

Got a call from Chrisracer in Plymouth, who provided the following tidbits: There is an E951 scheduled out of Flint this afternoon. Not sure if it's coming from Essexville or Port Huron.

This power was on N914-28 on Wednesday night headed out of Wyoming for West Olive around 8:00pm. They must have kept the power around GR or the orginal set of empties has not ...

Q327 by Trowbridge at about 4:30 with CSX 8124, 8592 and 21 cars (96 axles). Five of those 21 cars were just dropped at Ensel, so they are continuing on to GR with 16 cars. Train is departing Ensel as I type. Q327-01 arrived GR with 16 cars at 7:40pm tonight. Looks like the power is continuing onto...

Just wondering if the Essexville coal trains have started up again. Talked to someone that saw one a week or so ago go through Wyoming but haven't seen anything on the boards about them. What are the train symbols of the loads\empties?
