Z151 is entering Wyoming Yard with 3389 and 3408. Wondering if they've gone back to an evening schedule? Good size train.

Re: Shortline Train Location Updates - January 2022
Late GDLK report from yesterday, January 11. Around 2:30pm at Three Rivers, both the northbound road freight with the 4209 and 4189 and the southbound local train with the 3808, 4002 and 4009 were tied down between CP Park and CP Cowling just north of town.
At the Andersons grain elevator southwest of White Pigeon, a loaded grain train was being put together. NS 4004 was the only power. It had departed toward Elkhart by 4pm.

JAIL was NB today w 1760/1758 thru Holt so they are running LHF again as the good lord intended. 13 coils from RSDC in Holt for CSX. A nice variety of Conrail CoilShields, CSX one and two hood coils and even a hybrid coil with one hood CSX and one hood NS.
Re: Shortline Train Location Updates - January 2022
Based on hearing the horn, I believe the Elk is in Otsego That would indicate a probable run to GR later.
Trails to Rails. Put the track back.

Another GDLK run north today? Certainly could happen; has happened a couple times in the past.

Do you know when these trains were seen, and where, and perhaps a length of the train - car count or what type of cars were on the train?
