[MikeB89]

@6:14am M326 Entered the siding in Hudsonville.

He is going to have to wait for P371 to go through this morning.

Currently parked at some business watching. Probably gonna chase into Grandville since I'm on my way home from work.

Sounds like Amtrak hasn’t even left Wyoming yard yet (I’m parked at ivanrest pretty much) they keep calling the rogue tower, but don’t get a response

6:20 finally got a response that they are good to go

Well I suppose keep an eye out for myself as well. I'm in a silver Chevy Cruze. I plan to stop at the surplus store at Ivanrest to watch them come through

M326-17 mp CG20.67 Zeeland MI @ 05:59 06/18/22

Engines #5290 + #258

He has 69 cars. And had gone by the Bangor Cam at 04:43:22

[MikeB89]

6:38am P371 passing M326 heading towards West End of Hudsonville. M326 sounded his horn and is on the move.

[Tom49801]

Late M326 again?
Hopefully there will still be a M327 in the morning

There won’t be M327 unless we have power in the yard

And that’s looking more and more unlikely since l303 and m327 left today and neither of their counterparts returned

Now that was entertaining. I never get to see M326 as I work third shift. Was surprised after leaving 80th in Zeeland and the crossing activated.

L302-17 Approaching Pleasant Street at Hall Rd. in Grand Rapids. He currently has an approach signal at the Pleasant Street Signal. 7914 and 7811 leading.

I have no idea what the first few hoppers and further in the train were but it looked like some white sand.

I usually parked by the drivers ed parking lot off Ottawa near Wilson Ave for M326. I love getting that long distance shot of M326 approach

There was evidently an empty grain train that went west by Howell in the night. It woke me when they tooted the horn going by the house. Did not see it, get any scanner info to get an axle count or lead unit number, nor if it went to Webberville or Grand Ledge nor even the time it went by. Was not dreaming because I could hear the train as it passed by. Figuring it was L302 didnt turn the scanner on but wished I had when L302-17 went by at 04:45.

Hi, I searched the scanner archives & it was a bit scratchy:

G802-12 @ 2:09am with CSXT #446 leading had released his EC1 for Ensel to the west end of Grand Ledge & saying he was all clear of the Main & Siding.

No DD report info for east of Ensel, the Plymouth sub-div Broadcastify scanner doesn't reach that far. There has only been 3 times in the past 4 1/2 years I had heard a report from the DD at mp CH79.9 & I had been told the person who provides this feed had moved further away from the Plymouth sub-div tracks & is living closer to the CN tracks.

Is it likely l303 runs down on time today since their crew normally starts around 10 and there are now two sets of power in the yard?
