Late report, but Grand Elk was Michigan-bound passing the Elkhart camera at 04:34 this morning. 3 units led by the WSOR SD40-2 and about 55 cars.
I counted about 10 of those Thiele tank cars that bring the slurry up to Graphic Packaging. Has there been any increase in their railcar traffic since the new mill went online next to North Yard in Kalamazoo?
