I was just standing outside my house (about 1 mile as the crow flies from the Kalamazoo Raceway) up on the 6th/7th st hill and could hear the horn of the GDLK. It was either heading north through Plainwell or more realistically heading to the paper plant in Otsego to do some switching. Heads up to the Grand Rapids guys that the GDLk is probably heading your way soon.

Hughart Yard Job @ 2:00pm seen with WAMX #4209 switching covered hoppers around in Hughart Yard in Grand Rapids. Possibly setting up for Job 303 Grand Elk to pull southbound later today?
They arrived into Hughart Yard after doing a Z739 Hughart Runner into CSX Wyoming yard to interchange cars around.

Trails to Rails. Put the track back.
Re: Shortline Train Location Updates - October 2022
Great sunlight for a southbound run before 6pm yesterday. I hung around near 36th St. for about 45 min hoping they'd come south. No luck.
