Headed back south now

[GRHC]

L301-19 eastbound cleared Zeeland Michigan @ 17:36

CSX engines #8801 + #4057 + ? cars.

Note: I really wasn’t counting cars or anything. I was just enjoying watching the train so we’ll have to wait for a DD 19. 1 from Tom or Andy 24 or from whoever else that can provide the information.
I was also working on charging the batteries of OC&G #23-A/B

The Orchard Garden and Central should be running tonight. Any movements will be posted in the RailRoadFan.com shortline thread.
