Very busy Hug"H"art, just passed them with 303 coming in from the south with the yellow SD45 rebuild leading and Z739 coming in from the north. Didn't see what was leading that but my guess would be the GP35m.

Thought I heard GDLK up in Grand Rapids near 36th St around 8:30am. Not positive which direction they were headed.

Grand Elk SB around 6:00pm at 54th Street in Wyoming. 3 locomotives, 45-50 cars, 10-15 box cars. Anyone know where the box cars are going to or from? Otsego? 10 month old Granddaughter is not interested yet, but there is still time!

If they were hi cube boxcars they were probably going to the paper mill in Otsego.

Coopersville & Marne will take 3 loaded centerbeams to Standard today, on duty at noon. Probably worth catching, looks like the clouds are gonna stay away.
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.
