Here's the youtube dude with the view of GDLK returning from the Otsego with 4206 and 4189 with its boxcars today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQIe2nQQWsk

Around this time, I'd be assuming East. And about to work King Milling.

From Pudgy:
“Most of M326s train is wheat for King milling in Lowell. Huge surge coming currently. Last count was 125 cars heading for GRE. 27 delivered last night by Y297, 25 in Wyoming from yesterday's M326, and 55 cars today. 15 more in Chicago for tomorrow's M326 currently”
Expecting a lot of cars bound for GRE this upcoming week or two. Also, probably expecting a lot of empties to be coming out of GRE as well.

GRE definitely didn’t run today. All
the snowbanks in Ada are still intact and snow still covering the rails. Might’ve heard Y106 or another train on CSX a few miles to the south.

ELS 501/502 NB around 13:00 eastern with the first train out of WI since the derailment.
503 was working in the industrial park still.
At 16:00, 402/502 were switching in Stiles, WI while another crew is on 501. There’s lots of cars for Oconto Falls and a long cut of TTX and new UP boxcars as well.
It’s reported that CN in Green Bay has four full tracks of cars for the ELS to pick up.

Looks like Grand Elk just entered the Elkhart yard with 2 engines and 7 cars (4 tanks and 3 boxes).
Re: Shortline Train Location Updates - January 2024
GRE should have a nice mess to work with today, if they do indeed work. Y297 dropped off 27 on Wednesday and 25 more Thursday, all for King in Lowell.

Hearing the GDLK EOT in Plainwell. I imagine they're working Otsego at the moment. Probably NB after that. Currently 6:45 AM.

GRE just headed east with close to 30. I hope he makes it up the hill!

They must have split the train after the river.
Re: Shortline Train Location Updates - January 2024
GRE stopped eastbound in Ada. Not sure if they’ll work Amway now or run back and get their other cut of wheats.
