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.

Dan - JAIL was headed to the CN interchange to pull a string of coal cars that HESR had stored for DTE into storage. They are on the west side in the yard by the old GM plant.

I need to get a closer look, but I think there are more of the coal cars under the Cedar st bridge on the old LS&MS branch.

Pretty long string of empty CHs and two tanks on the interchange track at Fuller in Grand Rapids today, and a loaded tank, CH, and centerbeam on track 2. There is also a strange sign that has been installed in between the diamond and Indian Creek bridge. Looks like an hourglass with red and yellow on it. Didn't get a photo unfortunately.

Slow order board. MOW equipment was in the yard a week ago Monday 7am but I haven't seen them since. The centerbeam has a malfunctioning hand brake:(

Had seen people mentioning moving Grand Elk updates to here so..... They are currently NB down near the state line. Last I heard 3 engines.
This is my life. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
If this is a problem get used to it.
