Grand Elk south through Byron Center at 16:52. WAMX 4209, WAMX 4206, and 36 cars. They were probably doubling up their train if you saw just a short bit of them sitting at 28th St.

Noppers, further north. In the chat box should be a good clue as to where this is.

It is indeed on GDLK between those two areas.

Not on the MQT but is another short line.

Where be it? 800%!!!!
Now that I uploaded this, I see it might be easier to tell what/where this is just looking at the thumbnail before even opening the photo
