Of course, whenever I'm NOT going to Lansing in the morning, there they are heading east in great light.

Last car is a Sightseer Lounge.... Sounds like GRE is setting out cars on the golf course side?

Some action in Zeeland tonight. About 20:40, heard a train go through town, sounded like an eastbound by the horn sequence. I was close enough to the tracks to hear the car going over rail joints clearly. Seemed to be in the 30-40 car range, maybe a bit less. Amtrak went by east at 21:40. Q327 went west through town at 22:30 still with the 4810, 8571 & 2517. 50ish cars.

[Mr. Tops]

Dok, are you and your fellow 2nd trick yard crews the only ones who do anything? And everything is done at once? When I stopped by yesterday, there were FIVE yard jobs working at the same time. You guys (Y201) and also Y221, Y290, Y650 and Y690.

Y201 had 2639 then switched to 2567/2519
Y221 i'm assuming is whom Y201 swapped power with?
Y290 had 2691
Y650 had 2659 and returned solo from the east around 5pm
Y690 was getting on Q335's power and was going to play musical engines

Oh, and add Y121 coming over from Holland with the rail train. That makes SIX at once! Lets have all the yard jobs work second shift so we don't have to work in the dark...
