Hearing the EOT on the Elk in Plainwell since about 7:30AM. If I'm still hearing it when I head to the store I will try to get a visual.

Sounds like Grand Elk is rolling south through 36th St area at 1:00pm. Possible WAMX 4209, WAMX 4190 are the engines, no visual on cars

AARR with WAMX 4215 and something else are working Osmer as of 22:07. 4215 has a wreath and lights which is a nice touch.
