JAIL southbound from Mason at 8:20. Working Corr-Choice south of town before heading to Jackson.
822 solo
29 empties for NS!
Lmao NS B25 pulled into Jackson Yard while JAIL was in the yard and died on time. They are fouling the switch so JAIL cannot leave. No NB return trip for ADBF 822.

GDLK likes to sneak by my area a lot. I can sometimes hear their horn from 3 miles away and I live in an area that’s flat, no hills or slopes. Only way I get notifications on GDLK is from Z and others

Usually, I would post the southbound run when I hear them at 44th St then Z and so on. I’m not hearing GDLK south right now
When they depart GR, I hear them blowing loud and clear first at 32nd. Then I can count the crossings after that, with 54th usually being the last horn I hear, almost four miles away.

My first time hearing GDLK is 44th then 50th than 54th and goes quiet after that

Well that sounds like some really poor communication/planning.

Just a heads up to Andy, J T, Tank and Z, I was just standing outside and could hear the horn of the Elk around the Plainwell area. I am guessing that it’s making its way up to GR.
