CPMY ran on CHS today and pulled the old GT RPO car out of the woods. Pretty slow move and very hostile to the local onlookers.
Patience with boomer tourist rail orgs is wayning for sure.

Re: Shortlines Train Locations Updates - February 2024
I drove south on US131 passing Hughart Yard in Grand Rapids at 4pm and saw the following WAMX engines:
3534/3531 back to back
4190 in the far back, south of the engine house
4009 in the far back, facing north by engine house
4225/4206 on the roundabout table
Inbound 303’s cars sitting on the 2nd track away from the freeway, 15-20 ish cars on the 1st track next to the freeway.
Wasn’t able to see outbound 303’s cars and no engine movement

Grand Elk @ 4:20pm building their southbound train at Hughart Yard with WAMX #4206 leading and assuming WAMX #4225 with an unknown number of cars trailing. Wasn’t able to get a good view of the cars behind the long string of CHs.

Here’s my last capture of MMRR #2057 before the engine was sent on CSX M327 this morning. Almost 2 years ago when I caught him running NB on Z151. https://youtu.be/qOTRLfse-W8?si=iB--wreA2c9DGXL9

Just heard Grand Elk’s horn off in the distance. Not sure if they are headed into Grand Rapids or out.
