This is a question, Was that G801 the first grainer to use the Grand Rapids sub in 10 years? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of any in Michigan going west of Grand Rapids in a long time.
G126 ran last year or so as well on the Grand Rapids sub.

Grand Elk north through Byron Center at 9:55pm. WAMX 4124, WAMX 4225, and 25 cars. Appears 4124 and 4225 must have been wyed somewhere as they usually don't face with 4124 north and 4225 south.
Super late Grand Elk, north at Wyoming area at 10pm
