Sounds like that HESR grain empty they picked up from CN the other day went to The MAC elevator in Marlette. Power cut off and left cars.

Re: Shortline Train Location Updates - March 2021
Per a relay of Mike Spencer to cnw8835 to JT to me, Grand Elk was working Bay Valley Foods in Wayland on their northbound run approx 3:50pm with WAMX 4206, WAMX 4124, and newly painted WAMX 4189. Appears we're down to just one Wisconsin and Southern painted loco on Grand Elk.
North through Byron Center at 4:35pm with above power and 21 cars.
South through Byron Center at 6:55pm as JT mentioned power, wifey and I watching during kiddos conferences

Grand Elk made a stop in Moline to pick up 6 or 7 cars from Nutrien.

Just heard the MSRR at 9:35 A.M. by the high school. Sounds like maybe the 2025 or 2019 is leading due to the horn. Going southbound, not sure of the consist.
Got to go, I hear a train coming...

Re: Shortline Train Location Updates - March 2021
2025 is dead and drained, so it would definitely be 2019.

About 15 cars in Lowell tonight, mostly CP/SOO. Another line of hoppers south of town on the old GTW.
Re: Shortline Train Location Updates - March 2021
Must be they are working Otsego on the way south tonight. There was nothing waiting when i came through at 5:15, but I heard the horn an hour or more ago, and the EOT says they haven't left Plainwell yet.~Z~ wrote: ↑Thu Mar 18, 2021 3:24 pmGrand Elk north through Byron Center at 3:23pm.
