MQT Z151 blowing horns in GR, sounds like they are heading north

Grand Elk north through Byron Center at 2:04pm. WAMX 4189, 4209, and 37 cars. First half tank cars, followed by boxcars and covered hoppers. Looks like a Moline stop on the way south.

JAIL holding at Cedar for a WB CN train before going north - 09:30

JAIL derailed just north of Cedar, currently their train is blocking both CN's main and the thoroughfare.

Hearing very distance train horns in the north side of Wyoming, Mi area at 1:20pm. Possibly around 28th St

JAIL Z646-03 had 9 empty coils for CSX. They derailed around 9:40 after crossing over CN. The second to last car was over the diamond and they just got it cleared around 13:10.

Grand Elk north through Byron Center at 1:32pm. WAMX 4017 with 11 cars. Been a couple months since 4017 has strolled by.
Forgot to mention GDLK took WAMX 4124, 4190, and 4009 south with them yesterday.

A good chunk of the MQT roster is slumbering on the north side of Grant for the weekend with a 45(ish) car northbound train at the Nelson’s crossing. 3391 leading, with a pair of yellow geeps, the B&P SD, and new arrival 3413 in the 5th position. Good location for roster shots right along M37. Also? It looked like some gons parked in Grant loaded with ties….for track rehab?

Marquette turn arriving into Baldwin NB. 3391-2042-2043-3345-3413

MQT turn departing south soon. Dropped the 3413 in Baldwin yard. 12:20

SB Marquette turn dropped the 2043 at Newaygo for grain loading. Tomorrow’s Z151 will have 3345-2042-3391 as power. Tied down in Sparta.
