Shortline Train Location Updates - May 2022
HESR 3390 took an empty unit train from Durand to Brown City yesterday. Cars were not the P&H ones I reported on in a CN post but all ZFS-pool covered hoppers. HESR 3390 had brought down about 85 empty sand cars solo on 4/29 last week for CN.

GDLK south through Plainwell at 8:41PM. I don't think they stopped as there were no cars set out on the Otsego branch earlier.
Trails to Rails. Put the track back.

Well, he said "presumably" a 303 is heading north, and 303 goes to GR so I just put two and two together.

JAIL 1760/1751 sitting at Ensel. Track crew working on a coil car. They worked CN this morning and picked up a boxcar to take to Michigan Packaging. Looks like they dropped off three boxcars for CSX.

Seeing as though the train with 3531 and 3807 didn't seem to make it to Grand Rapids yesterday and the other train went north and back south, can only guess they worked industries on the north side of Kzoo or Plainwell, or even up to Wayland, but didn't go further north.
