Sounds like he is returning WB @ 1141 through the north side of GR.

You are correct. Moving more cars around the yard now.

Sounds like they are headed back out. Long day for them today. No visual unfortunately.

EB at Turner at 1:00pm with another 20 or so for King.

GRE yard is mostly full and at 6:00pm, looked liked CSX Y297 had another 10 or so hoppers for GRE.

GRE headed east with around 30 hoppers at 9:00a at the river.

GRE EB under I-196 at College around 9:20am. Looked like a lot of King hoppers, but chose not to stop and count on the freeway. I was a statistic at the spot on Friday the 13th of October last year already!

MQT NB at Ann St around 12:30. 4 engines and about 120 cars, with the new TILX cars on the back end.

12:45-MQT NB at Ann St. with 4 engines and ~80 cars, a lot of 2-bay probably empty sand hoppers; GRE waiting WB with 3 non-King hoppers. King has been quiet all week. CSX m326 brought in an additional 72 brand new TILX 3 bay covered hoppers for Marquette Rail CSX Y297 left probably 30 or 40 hoppers...

Y297 was SB light at Ann Street around 6:15, but appears to have left a yard full of hoppers for King.

GRE west thru Ada at 10:42

GRE, around the noon hour, picked up 2 empty center beams and brought 3 loaded center beams west for the C & M. Not sure if there is any track on the new bridge at this time, but seems to be a lot of activity.

Y297 NB at Ann St. with one hopper only, no gons, 5:55pm.

3 loaded lumber cars in the GRE Ann St. yard this morning. No trains moving yet.

Marquette Rail horns heard in GR at 12:05pm

Reported by my son NB at Ann Street with 3 engines and ~75 cars.

Seems like I see a couple cars a week in the yard for Amway. I know there was at least 1 this week.

GRE west thru Ada 11:42 with 10 King empties and the 1 Poly car

13 cars were seen on the WB at Ann St. Also MQT NB had ~140. My source said the last 80 or so looked like grain hoppers probably for Newaygo.
