Word in the street is current guestimate of departing GR westbound approx 4:15am. Who knows if the crew call time will change sometime in the early morning hours, so take that time as a rough guess.

Well, I am still not sure what the purpose of this train was. After scouring the first post and the rest of the thread, I still don't know.
I think it was too long to be a geo train, I was wondering what equipment they had, etc. What are they doing, just taking execs to Chicago?
My dad suggested it was related to A2TC but I thought that project wasn't going anywhere. Good luck to all of you west of Grand Rapids, may it run in good light.

There was no purpose other than some execs touring the system. The train has covered a lot of ground this week. The best way for them to inspect their system is by train. That’s it, it’s not any deeper than that.

Even if it were going anywhere, that involves a completely different railroad.

GRHC - you know every night I can imagine he is in front of his computer screen sitting in his underwear swearing profusely and drinking Blatz beer combing the RailRoadFan website for grammatical errors.

No it was so Boychuck could visit his ranch near Traverse City.
