I passed them at Hudsonville. Loaded lumber up at the front for Grandville setoff followed by a wide assortment of covered hoppers of the WMI and MSRR interchange variety, a few tankcars, 3 boxcars, a few empty lumber flats, and a pile of loaded scrap gons on the tail.

In unrelated news, two lumber centerbeams were ready for pickup from Hart Truss in Lansing around lunchtime today.
