Grand Elk RR north to east at Kalamazoo. WAMX 3808 & 3807. About a dozen boxcars, 1 empty Centebeam, and 2 tanks.

Anyone heard if Grand Elk Job 303 Kzoo to GR has gone northbound or southbound yet? It’s a hit or miss for me when they go by Wyoming area

Oh? It’s a hit or miss when I hear a WAMX horn. Just curious if GDLK is heading south if they already headed north to GR hours ago.

A lot of those WFRX short covered hoppers are still at Hughart Yard. I’m curious where WAMX #4190 has gone now.
