Z151 clear the Bridge St Tower SB in Grand Rapids, a trio of pumpkin SD40’s leading. The leader 3391 looking especially oily and grimy today.

Just turned on the Holland cam by the depot and caught the tail end of Y121 going down the Hamilton branch. No other info to give than the last car was a loaded lumber car.

Sounds like things are ramping up. Pretty sure I’ve heard D706 and Y106 on the east side of GR since I’ve been making my delivery at Rockwell Republic.

CSX Grain train from Grand Ledge, MI - G791-22 - getting his EC1s intact. CSXT trio #310, #400, #5450. Length of 5422.

Unless I didn't hear right, it sounded as if he's only going as far as the siding in GL today? The little bits of static doesn't quite help, but the Broadcastify feedback is clear enough. My comprehension in trying to remember what's said may be a little off, too.

Thanks to my old friend J T for that heads up
You're welcome, CH! So are they going to Zeeland with that lumber car?

When Y121-24 came off the Hamilton branch they had 2 empty bulkhead flats so whether they make it to Zealand or not I’m not sure … but I’m sure I’ll let you know if they do lol
I swear I saw a loaded car at the end of the train when I spotted it on the camera. Is there a customer on the Hamilton branch that would be getting a loaded lumber car? Or maybe it was just an illusion due to the falling snow at the time.

I wonder if they went down the Dock Track to “plow” snow.
