LSRC Z127 is ready to depart Flint southbound. They're waiting for a coal train to clear Flint. Not sure where the coal train is.

Grand Elk north through Byron Center at 6:03pm. WAMX 4206, WAMX 4189, WAMX 3531 and about 50 cars.
Back south at 11:11pm with WAMX 4189, WAMX 4206, and 8 cars. Honking the horn at something past the crossing, maybe deer or people on the tracks.

GDLK should have been NB from Plainwell about half an hour ago. Heard it but didn't see it.
Trails to Rails. Put the track back.

CPMY night owl is a go. Sowwies to all you westsiders
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

Re: Shortline Train Location Updates - April 2021
Just a few notes from today's bike ride from Byron Center to northern Muskegon -
didn't see any cars at C&M's Standard Lumber off Fruitridge in Walker.
4 tank cars at BASF near their fence where their spur comes off the Michigan Shore line.
HESR 2025 tied onto a cut of sand cars in the North Yard in Muskegon, while MMRR 2170 and MMRR 2019 were both running and idling unattached to cars.
North yard was pretty full of sand hoppers, soil gondolas, and tank cars.

Just heard GRE arrive in Lowell. Since there were no cars in town last night, it will be easy to see what they leave.
