Re: Shortline Location Updates June 2023
JAIL came north to Lansing yesterday with 821/1751. Had a couple dozen at CSX and 8ish at CN. They took some cars from CSX to Saginaw Yard and then worked Padnos before going down south.
When they go past Ensel, they leave 821 in Ensel. 821 led to and from Ensel tho but 1751 was solo on the Lansing Manufacturers branch.
They worked RSDC on the return trip to Mason and it looked like 24-30 for NS last night. Nice to see some cars moving around Lansing again as it’s been a bit dry off of CSX and CN lately.

Re: Shortline Location Updates June 2023
Grand Elk north through Byron Center at 4:48pm. WAMX 4125 and 4209 both facing north with about 35 cars. Last 15 were new AEX grey covered hoppers. Laid on the horn a little after going by 84th St and slowed down, probably something on the tracks at the private crossing north of 84th.
Back south at 7:27pm with same power and 10 cars.

Sure sounds like something on Grand Elk heading south from Hughart right now. Just heard them blow at 32nd, 36th, and 44th.
A few more horns again around 10pm. Local job switching down by 44th?

Re: Shortline Location Updates June 2023
Agreed, south through Byron Center at 6:53pm. Think I counted 12 but you might be right. Wonder if the FRA train will hold in GR for the weekend and run Monday or maybe Wednesdays due to the holiday.MuskegonRailfanning wrote: ↑Fri Jun 30, 2023 6:46 pmGDLK Job 303 SB @ 18:43 Cleared Byron Center, 68th street with WAMX 4125 Solo & LHF & 11 cars.
GDLK did leave two locos in GR they brought up so maybe 4009 will lead it south.

Re: Shortline Location Updates June 2023
My correction, it was 12. My friend had seen the FRA train with 3531 & the cars. So he may follow 303.~Z~ wrote: ↑Fri Jun 30, 2023 6:55 pmAgreed, south through Byron Center at 6:53pm.

The GDLK FRA train is sitting in the yard with 4209 at head LHF & solo. All the lights are off and didn’t see any crew or anyone hear the train.
