Just passed MS north bound along 31, just north of Ferrysburg. I think the two locos were longer than the train. :(

MS is currently rolling south through Grand Haven. Too far away to see the unit numbers, but it was a short train with one boxcar and three CHs.

22:57 EDT: MQT Z151 is currently working in the vicenity of Comstock Park. Either they're on their way down or heading back to their train at Vinton, but I'm guessing the former.
