Far distance train horn heard in Wyoming 44th area 12:36am, no visual of the train. Stronger train horn heard at 12:37am, sounds like a Grand Elk switching?

Elk left Plainwell SB at 7:44 and I heard them blowing for Riverview Drive at 7:48. Didn't see them, though.

Grand Elk just went by the Elkhart cam towards the Elkhart yard at 10:36am with WAMX 4189 and WAMX 4209 leading 54ish cars. I may have missed one or two while on my work meeting. A good mix of box cars, covered hoppers, tank cars, a loaded gondola, a loaded center beam, two empty center beams and a bulk head loaded with logs.

You are welcome and thank you. I bet the majority of those box cars came from Otsego Paper. I drove by there the other day and they had around 16-18 box cars at their facility.Andy24 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 07, 2023 11:07 amThanks for the heads up. I counted 51 cars on replay.
