G-010-01 west bound off the southwest wye in Plymouth
did not get the loco nums @ 6:10pm
then caught X500 CP 8817 ES44AC
69 cars ( 30 Double Stacks 4 Covered Hoppers 35 Auto Racks) @ 6:20pm
was looking for D717-01 but that was a nice substitute

Please do not poke at the ramp agent because he has the power to make your vacation
memorable or miserable. It all depends on what flight you bags go on.

'bout time they replace that bridge and widen the road. It's got one of those plaques on it but I haven't ever stopped to read what it says.

C&M told Walker that they could feel free to replace that bridge long ago, just replace the track on top of it for free, lol.

That would be the City of Walker, a suburb on the western end of Grand Rapids.

Russ, "F*&%ing Chuck Norris" is a quote from the movie "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story". Ironically, it's the last 3 words at the end of the film! :)
