Re: Shortline Updates - August 2024
Looks like they're spending the night in Plainwell. There are still 6 or 7 boxcars on the Otsego lead to be picked up. The rest of the train is parked north of M-89 with a dimmed headlight.~Z~ wrote: ↑Fri Aug 02, 2024 3:42 pmGrand Elk south through Byron Center at 3:42pm. WAMX 4125, WAMX 4209, and 25 cars.

ELS got SD-9 #1221 fired up Saturday and it led the train from Escanaba to Channing. Some mechanical issues forced them to break out 1221. Great videos on Facebook.
