Z151-28 @ 2:08pm horn heard in Grand Rapids. Have no visual on which direction they are heading.
I believe they are heading north now from Grand Rapids. Horn is getting faint

Not sure if they went back south around 8 pm. I heard their horn from my workplace at Meijers.

Yes, grand elk went south about 8:30 through Byron Center. Was having a campfire when they went by.. lots louder sitting next to the tracks. Looked like 4124 leading maybe 25 cars.
