Amtrak P37111 west at Vriesland, engine #62 leading. D70011 pretty close behind them nearing Hudsonville - 8:17am.
Dispatcher said no traffic on Fremont sub for most of the day, so no coal load/empties/MS. Y121 might be around though.
P37111 had 20 axles, D70011 had 12 on their way west by the Zeeland detector.

Anyone know what train headed west out of GR around 6pm? I was in Hudsonville at a job and heard some horns around 6:20. I could see the tracks from where I was, but by the time I heard the horn they'd already cleared the area I could see. I don't believe it was light power as I could hear the distinct sound of railcar wheels resonating through the valley.

I haven't seen an X550 through Plymouth since 2011. When the last X550 ran, it was a Windsor-Stanley Yard train with traffic straight off the CP (Power and all), but there was some congestion issue at the time that lead to the run-through. What could of it been this time?
