IORY delivered a CSX system unit train to the ADBF for MAC in Blissfield for the first time. CSX 867/CSX 3091 are the power and are sitting at the ADBF interchange with IORY. This is either a 24 hour or 32 hour speed load train.

Grank elk south through Byron Center at 3:24pm. Wamx 4124, wamx 4125 and one whole covered hopper.
Also noticed 2-3 covered hoppers parked on the main on the Hamilton Northwestern Railroad line in Holland, just south of i-196 around 3pm today. Perhaps doing some interchange at that point instead of Waverly for whenever they run next? Thought it was a bit odd. Saw MOW working on the north side of the i-196 bridge there on Wednesday.

Z151-26 @ 11:11am heading into Wyoming Yard with 2 SD40-2s and a heavy train. Maybe 40 cars at least. I’m hearing heavy rail screeching at Sunnyside

Re: Shortline Train Location Updates - September 2022
Z151-26 @ 2:02pm northbound from Lake Michigan Drive with MQT #3406 + MQT #3408 (elephant style) and 116 cars. I am surprised they are using duo SD40-2s in ellie mode and pulling a large freight back north.
They had to turn around these engines in Wyoming Yard for their trip back north

MQT was NB at Ann St. and GRE WB waiting at the diamond around 2:15p. Some interesting auto maneuvers by probable railfans looking for a good shot were also observed.

WAMX 4124 leading with a 2nd loco trailing for Grand Elk south at 10:13pm. Locos sounded like they were struggling to keep the train moving, really pulsating. Going to throw a guess of 80ish cars.

Re: Shortline Train Location Updates - September 2022
They arrived at Hugart Yard in Grand Rapids around 3:17pm. I can see mentioned power and cars above on slow approach from the Burton St overpass.
I also see WAMX #4209(?) shoving cars around for the trip southbound GDLK to pull. I’m assumed WAMX 3531 and WAMX 3534 was the idle engines I saw.
A lot of WFRX 2 bay hoppers was moved from the 36th Yard to Hugart Yard. About 50-60 cars. Saw them at Hugart Yard this morning and at 2:30pm, they moved them again to Wyoming Yard
