I don't know if this is news or not but HESR had their three SD40-2's (not the SD40M-2) running together. Video by Michael Caden.

I didn't even know they had three SD40-2's, I thought they only had two plus the SD40M-2.

Re: Shortlines Train Locations Updates - April 2024
They just got the GEXR SD40-2 within the last couple of months, as well as returned the 3414 to service after being OOS for well over a year. So now they have 4 SD40-2s: 3390, 3393, 3414, and 3484.

GDLK grain train went north through Elkhart at about 0302. Pair of C6M's for power. Non company cars.
This is my life. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
If this is a problem get used to it.

Re: Shortlines Train Locations Updates - April 2024
Based on the EOT/HOT telemetry, I believe they tied down in Plainwell last night.
Trails to Rails. Put the track back.
Re: Shortlines Train Locations Updates - April 2024
When I went past the power was South of the crossing and I didn't see anything to the North, so this might be a northbound.
