Y106 east by CH 146 in Kentwood 09:41.

You would assume wrong.

Why start so late? Whether 1 or 100 foamers show up, the host should arrive around sunrise. With train counts being at an all time low, other activities other than sitting by the tracks to make time pass may also help with attendance with emphasis on food, drink, and tourism. I would arrive earlier...

L302 west by Thornapple at 12:12, a few toots from one of the engine’s horns, not sure which one.

WMI hasn’t handled tomato paste since 2015.

Empty coal train coming up to the Holland depot, executive MAC and csx helpers on the back end! Does that MAC still have its nose logo? It does indeed still have the logo! Well, not "really".

WMI picked up 12 and left 9 for CSX in Hartford last night.

Endeavour and Keystone merged. No sale.

Correct, there's nothing that says the siding can't still be used for meets. T&E wanted power switches but engineering did not, and engineering won.

HESR 745 outbound from durand at 16:30

Why do they change the symbol from 701 to 745?

Different crew.

Grand Ledge siding is no longer going to be designated as a siding in the timetable, it will just be an "other than main/yard" track, with hand throw switches. Expect either or just one end of the siding to have just an intermediate signal. The thinking behind putting an absolute signal west of town...

Not even a new scenario on CSX. Joy Holdout was an absolute in Michigan City for years.

Westbound freight by Potterville at 08:35 with CN 3192 and another ET44.
