JAIL derailed just north of Cedar, currently their train is blocking both CN's main and the thoroughfare.

Grand Elk north through Byron Center at 1:32pm. WAMX 4017 with 11 cars. Been a couple months since 4017 has strolled by.
Forgot to mention GDLK took WAMX 4124, 4190, and 4009 south with them yesterday.

Re: Shortline Train Location Updates - May 2024
A good chunk of the MQT roster is slumbering on the north side of Grant for the weekend with a 45(ish) car northbound train at the Nelson’s crossing. 3391 leading, with a pair of yellow geeps, the B&P SD, and new arrival 3413 in the 5th position. Good location for roster shots right along M37. Also? It looked like some gons parked in Grant loaded with ties….for track rehab?
Re: Shortline Train Location Updates - May 2024
