Peaker is just east of Silver Lake Road Crossing. 12 Mile Road should be east of Peaker.
Oop. My error... I've lived in this town since the subdivisions were corn and horses... so I know better... but I wasn't thinking clearly. That also explains why I didn't hear the DD, which I thought was peculiar. :roll:

As of 20:00, Y297 was north of Fuller diamond in GR with a long cut of gons, a couple tankcars and a loaded centerbeam. I’m surprised they use an EOT for this switching job. They must run around their train between there and Fuller to head back for the yard?

Yes, I had caught that when I had gone back to the Holland cam but it had timed out & when I had refreshed that site I saw it's EOT flashing west at the bend. Dispatcher amazes me, they are running D700 into Saugatuck siding mp CG32 to clear up for Amtrak that had departed Bangor at 9:49pm.

They run around in the Fuller industrial pass track immediately north of the diamond on the right side of the main. Usually switches Haviland, then runs around it's train to switch Padnos and the GRE interchange.

Have to have a flashing light on the rear if it gets dark. They run around their train with the runaround north of the diamond.

D708 blowing their horn twice for a forward movement, and for a crossing, I'd guess eastbound at MA. 12:49.

Nice to see the 705/706 rotation running daily again.

705 must have picked up a couple of units in Lansing. Heard through the grapevine that 4 units were on the train as it arrived into GR.

GRHC - you know every night I can imagine he is in front of his computer screen sitting in his underwear swearing profusely and drinking Blatz beer combing the RailRoadFan website for grammatical errors.
