Whatever sponge bob is assigned to Y121 must have the quietest horn, normally I can hear them whistling their way into Zeeland from my house when they switch any local industries. Lately they’ve been sneaking in and out and I’m none the wiser. Two covered hoppers (ATW and NOKL) left at Van den Bosch Feed yesterday or earlier today, including a very interesting ex CNW car that would make a good weathering project. Was it yellow? Was it green? 📸

Zeeland Lumber hasn’t had an inbound in 2+ weeks, I think.

The two covered hoppers were delivered on Thursday morning.
Zeeland lumber did receive one loaded center beam flat car at the beginning of last week.
On Tuesday they had a crew at the Zeeland lumber switch making repairs with a backhoe and a high rail truck with a crane.
