Just a heads up. Have a friend that works for the company that gives rides for the crew changes. She informed me that today a CSX Geometry train will be coming up from Benton Harbor into Grand Rapids.

At this point in time no ETA but she told me once she receives news about a crew change she will notify me.

She also said it may even be tomorrow just depends on when they can get a crew apparently.
