No problem, Muskegon crew most likely will work tomorrow, having an earlier Ann St. on-duty time. Not sure what crew will work Friday.

Still doing track work in Lowell today by King.

Grand elk went north into Grand rapids about 7:15pm. Crew with WAMX 4125 switching under Hall St in GR currently.
At 10:40pm, Grand Elk was south at 36th St in Grand Rapids.

Nope, Alma crew is in GR tomorrow. Also, there's not a set schedule for the GRE, it should be ran Mon, Wed, Fri, but it depends on the cars and what is going on in Muskegon and over here in Alma. For example, last week GR was ran Tues, Thurs. This week however, it's a Mon, Wed, Fri.

3 MMRR and MQT trucks at Ann Street. 5 crew members are looking at the 2104, they have headlamps and everything. Engine house garage door is open, but the 2104 isn't moving or started yet. Not sure what's going on.

2104 pulled out of the engine shop but is still not yet switching. It has been like this for over an hour now.

A 5th truck just pulled into the GRE driveway. Anyone know what's going on?

Sounds like they might just be working on 2104.

Great, I'll have to hear all about this whole situation tonight!

For those wondering, they were just finishing up with the 92 day inspections.

That's why he was so late today going thru Ada?

Most likely

What time should I expect GRE in Lowell on Friday? 9-11ish?

LS&I 11 Yard/Hill is arriving to Eagle Mills, 61 in tow. Crew will fill out a train and depart to MQT.

I don't get to that side of the state much so I unfortunately can't help you out on that one.

I guess I'm getting a little bit of old head senses in me, kinda like spidey senses but better. I still sure do have a lot to learn in the field though. Every little bit that old grumpy guy teaches me, the better!

Yeah, 10-11ish. I'll be at Ann Street and I'll give updates of when they are departing and stuff.
