Thanks for the response, Talk. Does Brinks still receive about 10 cars per week at the N. Muskegon tank farm?

Yes They Do!
No worries! Last time i saw them work brinks they dropped off 4-5 tanks, assuming a twice weekly schedule, I'd say that's accurate!

JAIL working the CSX interchange at 12:06 pm today. Had 822 and 1751 in town. Most of the time I saw them working Saginaw Yard 1751 was doing the work, but both went to CN interchange (looked like only 1751 was being used though.) After running some errands caught 822 leading 1751 on the north end with several steel coil cars. They were backing back to the yard blocking the crossing north of the yard. Don't know when they left town.

Somewhat of a late post, at 4:40pm I drove pass Hughart Yard and saw WAMX #3534 and WAMX #3531 connected with a line of NS Grain cars with 4-5 NS open top hoppers near end and maybe more cars behind those NS hoppers. At the time, I was driving and happen to peek
