Re: Shortline Train Location Updates April 2023

Head up to the Grand Rapids area guys, the Grand Elk went through Plainwell around 5:40pm heading north towards GR. I could not see the numbers on the power from where I was at but I could see two engines up front followed by roughly 7-9 covered hoppers and then 12-15 tank cars.
