Closest to Grand Haven this would have gotten was West Olive where the power plant spur ties into the Fremont Sub mainline to Holland. FYIDavid Collins wrote: ↑Sat Dec 16, 2023 10:59 amGrand Haven at 10:59, the person that saw it didn’t see the CSX engines on the rear however.

That would be along US 31 between West Olive and Harlem, for your reference. Won't be seeing these trains for much longer if current plans proceed as advertised.David Collins wrote: ↑Sat Dec 16, 2023 11:29 amSorry! The person that saw the train said Grand Haven
