Re: Shortline Train Location Updates - January 2022
Based on radio traffic, and knowing that they just finished in Otsego, it sounds like GDLK is preparing to go head out from Plainwell. I presume they'll be going north.
Trails to Rails. Put the track back.

They were through Shelbyville at 5:47pm.

Gdlk never made it as far north as Byron Center though, so unless they ran around their train in Wayland and went back south, they should still be out there dead and awaiting a recrew.

Seen on FB, King Milling has shipped the first cars of flour from Lowell to Pringles in TN this week. Supposed to be just a few cars at a time initially. Using ACFX pneumatic cars. CSX lost one of the inbound empties LOL

Neat-o RDD. Probably going to the Kellogg's plant in Jackson TN. I've talked to some of the employees there quite a few times over the years.

There are still cars on the Otsego branch so I doubt they went back south.

Didn’t see the GRE EB, but the WB returned to GR around noon with 6 empties from Lowell. Lowell has a lot of cars, but too dark to count.
