Re: Shortline Train Location Updates - May 2024
GDLK was sitting south of the M-89 crossing around 7:00PM. It was pointed north. It wasn't there half an hour earlier. One of the WSOR units (maybe 4190) was in the lead. Headlight on bright. I did not see the rest of the consist. I'm hearing regular telemetry on the EOT frequency, but none on the HOT frequency. I haven't heard anything on the VHF voice frequency either. So, I surmise they are either switching Otsego, or will tie down for the night. Usually I hear them on VHF if they're in Otsego.
Update: around 8:15ish they returned. Presumably from Otsego. Sometime after that they departed. Midnight train to Grand Rapids?

ADBF 822 is LHF across Olds Ave into New Hollow Yard interchange with CN at 12:50. They’ve got 18 loads to pull uphill.
They came north across CP Cedar just shy of 10:00 with one loaded tank from ZFS for CSX.

Thx JT - Grand Elk north through Byron Center at 1:02pm. WAMX 4190, 3808 and 36 cars. Had some cars that looked like going to Moline, so I'd expect a stop there on the way south later today.

Screen shot from my video as I sat in my work truck at the 133rd Ave crossing. Was approaching from the east and the lights started flashing. Yes.
