Re: Shortline Location Updates June 2023
Yesterday morning, AARR ran a unit grain train up for GLC with NS run thru power.
HESR was supposedly bringing a grain train down from Auburn yesterday to Durand as well. Idk if that happened tho because I got royally smashed yesterday evening.

This one is probably for MAC-Middleton or Andersons-Oakley. Reports out of another Fb group say there is another grain empty en route for GLC as well via AARR.

GDLK was still tied down in Plainwell when we went for ice cream around 1:00. I'm not hearing the EOT now (7:01 PM).

Loud Grand Elk train horns were heard in the distance at the 44th St area from 8:48 pm to 8:52 pm. Possibly a switching at a customer? No visual of the train itself. Could be WAMX #4190 leading

After getting Z151, I went back south passing Hughart Yard and saw 6 WAMX engines sitting by the roundtable area. Near the south side of the yard was a lot of WRFX short bay hoppers with the new AEX grain hoppers and the 8 cars Z439 brought on the far end of the yard
