Z739 is coming back onto home rails now. 4225 LHF for power.
This is my life. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
If this is a problem get used to it.

Re: Shortlines of Michigan Location Updates July 2023
I like how GDLK has been swapping out the Z439 power over the past few months between the Wisconsin Southern unit, the Geep 35s, and now the 4225. Nice shots, Muskegon. I got some great photos of one of the Geep 35s at the exact same spot a month or so ago, but I stood on the south side of the tracks to get the Sligh Furniture factory in the background.MuskegonRailfanning wrote: ↑Tue Jul 25, 2023 2:04 pmGrand Elk Z439-25 @ 13:50 SB/EB Century Ave with WAMX #4225 (EX.
