There used to be a small lumber yard on the east side of the tracks at the co-op mill. Had another location in Grant. Google seems to indicate they are closed.

West Michigan left 7 cars for (hopefully) D700 to pick up last night.

Nothing looks like it moved (C&M load hasn't moved) so they must have been on tree removal

West Michigan left 4 cars for CSX in Hartford last night. The new 136 lb rail has been installed on the CSX main and it looks awesome!

About an hour ago, GDLK 120 was northbound just north of 44th St. in Wyoming switching Magic Steel with one of the WSOR SD40-2s.

Does the lumberyard south of 54th on Clay Ave. still receive wood products? I don't get down that a way much anymore.SD80MAC wrote:About an hour ago, GDLK 120 was northbound just north of 44th St. in Wyoming switching Magic Steel with one of the WSOR SD40-2s.

GRE went into AMWAY light at 1:00pm and came out pushing the aforementioned 4 cars up the hill. I saw Grand Elk running backwards with a lumber car at 54th Street a year or so ago, for the lumber yard along Clay Ave. Since my daughter moved, I don't get the same opportunities to observe.
