GRE Ann Street yard is full of mostly hoppers, a lot of BNSF, plus at least one loaded center-beam. Since Lowell/King has unloaded most of the hoppers over the weekend, probably GRE will head east on Tuesday.

GDLK was northbound through Byron Center approx 12:20am this morning. Don't think they went back south overnight, so I'd guess a southbound run in the sun today.

Glad you enjoyed AARR and David. Shot with my cell, a Motorola Moto x4. Think it's a 12mp sensor. Got it in 2017.
