GRE EB under I-196 at College around 9:20am. Looked like a lot of King hoppers, but chose not to stop and count on the freeway. I was a statistic at the spot on Friday the 13th of October last year already!

Grand Elk Z439 or Z739 roaming in downtown GR right now at 3:48pm.
I drove passed Hughart Yard and heading south at 4:00pm and saw more cars being lined up or stored on the tracks closest to US 131. Not sure if Grand Elk J303 went NB yet.

Yeah, there's no J. It's just "Grand Elk 303".

21:30 - HESR 745 departed Zilwaukee with the 90 empty potash cars that CN brought the other day. Headed for Durand.
Re: Shortlines Train Locations Updates - April 2024
Sometime in the wee hours of the morning GDLK rolled into Plainwell and parked for a few hours. They can now be heard on the radio, apparently having returned from their work in Otsego. Presumably they will be northbound soon.
Trails to Rails. Put the track back.
