I believe I "heard" a very faint GDLK horn in the distance at 5:54 pm. Possibly southbound by the Wyoming area, no visual

Righto Andy. Saw the gates going down on 84th for GDLK southbound at 6:05pm. Wasn't close enough to see the train though.

Re: Shortline Train Location Updates April 2023
I don’t think this is the same train but I was downtown at my old apartment helping my father in law do some work to the house and as we were getting done at 5:20pm or so I caught this train go by. The tracks run right behind the house as the house is across from the Kalamazoo KIK pool by Bronson. WAMX 4002 and WAMX 3808 leading 18 cars back towards Kalamazoo.

The Elk was just approaching Plainwell from the north a bit before 8:00 PM. I know they needed to pick up the Otsego boxcars before proceeding.
Trails to Rails. Put the track back.

They had 17-18 box cars on the property at the paper plant yesterday when I took my son for a ride. I drive into Otsego and Plainwell on a little loop back to my house and I always drive by the paper plant and then into Plainwell by Old Mill.

Last night they ran North instead working CSX, CN, and then left the train in Ensel for the next crew to start and head south. Tonight they will go to Jackson.
