I heard JAIL on the West side of Lansing a couple of times between 3:00 and 4:00 so I assume they went to the CN interchange.

They were at Corr Choice (the box factory) south of Mason at 7:10

Grand Elk north through Byron Center at 10:25pm. Looked like WAMX 4125, WAMX 4225, and a 3rd unit. Couldn't see the cars well of course, guessing 50ish cars.
