Grand Elk just went by the Elkhart cam towards the Elkhart yard at 11:42am with WAMX 4206 and WAMX 4209 leading 28 cars. A mix of box cars, covered hoppers, one loaded hopper car and tank cars.

Expecting Marquette Rail to bring down a heavy southbound train this week with the 91 loaded CSX grain cars from Newaygo on top of their normal consist of cars. Those 91 loaded grain cars will be transferred to a CSX crew to move eastward from Wyoming Yard.

Went east with the second half around 11:15. Looked like a dozen or so hoppers.Plannerdad wrote: ↑Thu Mar 30, 2023 9:47 amGRE went east around 9:00. Must be a long train. Looks like they left half of it parked on the Grand River bridge.

Re: Shortline Train Location Updates - March 2023
Grand Elk south by 104th Ave on the south side of Byron Center at 2:18pm. WAMX 4189, WAMX 4125, and 31 cars.
Later, they were south by 128th Ave near Bradley at 3:15 with I believe 29 or 30 cars. Likely stopped at Wayland's Endeavor Ag while they were southbound, because at 3:25pm, GLLX 4433 was shuffling one covered hopper around the circle track there. Took the car south in a clockwise loop to the scale, then back counterclockwise around to drop the car off up on the northeast side of the facility, then back clockwise around the loop again to park next to the scale on the north end. Guess they wanted to stretch the GT units legs rather than hop off and throw the switch, fine by me

At 6:20PM they were in Plainwell. I saw 4125 and couldn't see the other number. It looked like they were about to head toward Otsego.
Trails to Rails. Put the track back.
