3002 is getting its wheels turned in Manistee. Should be back in regular service some time next week.

The plow being released from bad order, could maybe be from when they actually came down and took it with them north. Not sure when this happened, but just a chance.

Too tired to post all of last nights events, will probably do so later. But for the present time:

Z151-16 dept GR at 0555 with GLLX 3001 and GMTX 2648 40ish cars
Y320-16 arr GR at 0900 with CSX 2517 and 10 cars
Q326-16 arr GR at 0910

Just as a note also,

The plow extra for Marquette has been abolished due to mechanical reasons. Look for more later tonight. 20 hours and time to hit the pillow.

Night

It went north right before the first Santa train at the end of 2006

Galen,

I guess I'll answer for Hall. Grinstein is the nickname given to the BN cream and green "executive" SD70MAC's, named after the BN president at the time they were new. I'm sure you've run a few on SBS!

Yeah, they were struggling to get up the hill at Thornapple. I'd say barely pushing 3-5mph as they crossed McCords.

First at Coloma:
