Grand Elk just went by the Elkhart cam at 10:23am towards the Elkhart yard with WAMX 4189 and WAMX 4225 leading the way. They had 68 cars in tow with a good mix of box cars, tank cars, covered hoppers and two NS hopper cars.
Just a question plz. When I see Z627-, that is the train from Muskegon right? Just curious what it hauls. Always shorty hoppers-sand I am assuming?? And always tank cars-non hazardous. What and where from do the tanks carry?? Thanks for any info.

Z627 this is the symbol that the Michigan Shore train uses while it's on CSX trackage between West Olive and Holland. It returns to it's own rails north of West Olive.

Short hoppers should be sand that's loaded at Berry Junction on the north side of Muskegon. Tank cars would be for either Webb Chemical or Brinks Terminal, with either Inbound Chemicals or Inbound Liquid Fertilizer.
