Lots of power (at least 8 units) at the yard in Kzoo. Not much life around there today, other than a fuel truck making a couple of stops. Not feeling confident that there will be a GR-bound train today.

Not feeling confident that there will be a GR-bound train today.

I can concur with this statement as the GDLK tracks in Wyoming Area are covered in 2ft of snow.
