Anyone heard if Grand Elk Job 303 Kzoo to GR has gone northbound or southbound yet? It’s a hit or miss for me when they go by Wyoming area

Oh? It’s a hit or miss when I hear a WAMX horn. Just curious if GDLK is heading south if they already headed north to GR hours ago.ConrailDetroit wrote: ↑Tue May 09, 2023 7:35 pmThere was a horn in the Wayland area around 4.30pm.
