Grand Elk in Hughart Yard @ 4:00pm switching cars around with WAMX #3534 and WAMX #3531 and I indeed saw those 51 cars sitting in the yard.
I have not seen the other 2 WAMX engines, most likely behind the line of cars sitting.

E&LS reportedly had a derailment in WI trapping three of the SD40's on the south end. GP38 402 has been handling duties to the north.
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...

Re: Shortline Train Location Updates - January 2024
WAMX 4208 returned from Otsego, apparently solo, with several boxcars. I did not have a great view. But I did not see a second locomotive. I can see the remainder of the train setting south of the 89 crossing, and it did not appear to have an engine on the front. If my observations are accurate, 4208 will be running northbound LHF.
Trails to Rails. Put the track back.
