Super exciting, but a yellow piece of MOW equipment headed south through Byron Center at 8:30am.
Adding Wednesday report of MOW action: two pieces headed south around 8am this morning.

Re: Shortline Train Location Updates - August 2023
There is still activity at the transload site located inside of Waverly yard. Zeeland Farm Services Darling/Kruger and Brink Farms/Trucking used the transload site at one point in time. If Brink still uses it I can’t say for sure because I don’t hang out there enough to watch what trucks come in and out.
Note: it’ll be interesting to see what the Hamilton Northwestern is able to poach from CSX once their transload facility is up and running.

Re: Shortline Train Location Updates - August 2023
Thanks for the response, Talk. Does Brinks still receive about 10 cars per week at the N. Muskegon tank farm?
