MMRE Fuller/Michigan train

Unread post by danted23 »

Hi everyone,

I live near the tracks that cross Fuller Ave. near 196 (just north of Michigan St.). Everyone so often (3-4 times a week?) we get a train. Usually it's a single engine with a small consist (6-7 cars). I usually see it travelling east bound. What industries does this train usually serve? When it heads back west, where is she kept?

TIA...

Well, the MMRR trains through Grand Haven don't go through Fuller so they would not apply to the original question.
