Looks to be quiet again today on the GRE. Only 2 cars in the yard, both Amways (not 1 like I said yesterday ) The usual Amtrak.

[Tlout]

Amtrak P371 in Holland 8:19 AM - engine 26.

N924-04 in the siding at Waverly.

[cnw8835]

Sound like N924 is pulling into the yard. Tower says D700 is coming through Zeeland.

[cnw8835]

N924 going to 8 track, interesting that it only has 66 cars. Power going to the house. D700 by Port Sheldon.

[cnw8835]

D802 will be getting on N924's power, and will head west to shove a train up the hill.

[CAT345C]

CSX brush crews are working from CH39 to CH43 as the goal today, they have been clearing out under the code line from Plymouth that past two weeks, so maybe its coming down soon.

[~Z~]

On the way in this morning, heard N924 going east through Hudsonville, with D700 close behind it going past E Waverly. Amtrak was out the other direction, down near MP 40. Heard the rail curve patch gang was just going by Pleasant St, bound to work some of the area around Hall and Division this morning.

N92404 thinks it's in West Olive, but yeah, it's not. CSXT 394 was leading it to GR this morning. Heard that detector this morning, showing it was basically half a train..odd stuff.

taking the scenic route I guess Must be because of the problem on NS yesterday. Not sure what it was, but they weren't taking any trains.

D801 (was on the rear of coal drag that went to West Olive earlier) south at Riley St. 6:35 PM. CSX 7504 (C40-8) & 394 light power.

Got a couple pics of these earlier...

So 335 and 327 were right on each other's heels today? No wonder I missed both of them.
