CN #2682 was working hard Q326-16 was moving very slowly climbing up the hill and passing through thru Zeeland.

Waverly yard is next to the Macatawa river in a valley and Zeeland sits up on a ridge above the Macatawa river valley. The top of this hill is at approximately mp CG18.60
There is no official name for this hill like there is for the much steeper and better known Saugatuck hill in East Saugatuck.
