The building on the NW corner of the JAIL crossing on W North Street (just north of the old Jackson Prison) blew up today. One less potential customer!

Re: Shortline Train Location Updates - August 2023
Thanks for all the Grand Elk postings everybody. I just retired and moved from Ohio to near Wayland. I am a huge GDLK fan and now will have lots of time to chase the Elk. So any and all postings about train location/times are much appreciated!!
