Here is M327 at Grandville.
Apparently Amtrak hit something between Hudsonville and Zealand. Near mp 15.

Nice video. Looked like a good sized train.
It was quite long. It took five minutes to pass at regular speed

At least we agreed on something. I heard train horns in Grand Rapids around 2:53pm too.
Marquette was northbound at 6 mile at 2:10 with 102 cars as seen in this video from thhe Rousche Druve crossing.
