Mich. Shortline Location Updates-September2018
GRE returned to GR today, light around 1:30pm (I know it is September now). Lowell tracks are almost full with hoppers, and looks like track work started south of the Grand River.

West Michigan RR left 1 empty plastics hopper and 3 loaded rubber hoppers for D700 at the interchange last night in Hartford.

This is not much of a location update anymore, but MQT was north out of Grand Rapids at 11:30 today with MQT 4023, MQT 3389, MQT 3408, MQT 2041, TPW 4056 and 139 cars. I managed to catch them at Turner Street around noon.

GRE --- EB Leonard at 9:55 with six CHs, only two of which look to be for King. Pumpkin back on point for power, with a horrible (at least in my opinion) horn.

I was inside the Michigan Sugar plant in Croswell Mi yesterday and noticed there was 10 loads of potash spotted south of M90. I think it's called Helena Chemical.

Re: Mich. Shortline Location Updates-September2018
JAIL with the late run thru Lansing today. North at MA at 3:30 with 3NS coil cars. Then, at 4:15, the consist was south with 1758, 2 of the NS couls, 5 tankcars (GATX and Procor), another NS coul, and 1751. Not sure where these tanks are going but I suspect they are coming from one of the interchanges, CN or CSX.

Re: Mich. Shortline Location Updates-September2018
GRE eastbound through Ada at 12:45. I don’t know what happened to the horn on 2104, but it sounds awful.
