Grand elk north through Byron center at 5:20pm. Believe 4124 and 4209 facing north with about 15 cars.
Back south at 7:28pm with 19 cars. Two locos long hood forward.

I think GRE is in Lowell now. Sounds like it anyway.

Looks like GRE left 15 or so CP/SOO hoppers in Lowell overnight.

The addition of those 2 huge bins at King Milling need to be filled . It definitely hs increased the inbound traffic. The area sure looks different with the old elevator behind the brewery on M-21 at the corner gone.

Food truck parked there most of the time.

And people sitting under tents around fire pits drinking beer from the brewery LOL
