Will Z151 be running down to GR everyday, or the same 3 day aweek schedule when they ran at night?

Indeed. Has been confirmed that Z151 will be a MO, WE, FRI departure from Baldwin.

Anyone catch Y221? Heard something around 7:30, but it just seemed to be MMRR bringing some Box cars to Ann St, away from Lowell.

Yes Sir that is Correct. 6am Start for the Z crew, 7pm start for the Road Night Train to Manistee and Ludington.
darn...I need them to leave GR at 6am for a shot I've been wanting to get in Newaygo. Only time possible for best lighting is during the few weeks in June when the sun is farthest to the north at sunrise. Oh well. Daylight runs south...that'll work for other shots, too! :D

GRHC - you know every night I can imagine he is in front of his computer screen sitting in his underwear swearing profusely and drinking Blatz beer combing the RailRoadFan website for grammatical errors.

They were switching Padnos. No signs of the GRE crew or the storage gons.

Where did they take the last batch of empties and I wonder where they will park these?
They are all freshly rebuilt cars, new wheels, truck assemblies, etc, etc on a lot of them.
Meanwhile, Consumers just took delivery of another batch or two of CPOX coal gons. Saw an almost entire train of them the other night, all built 6-09. CPOX 10200-10300 series.
