Re: Shortline Updates - August 2024
Grand elk is currently sitting just south of the 28th Street bridge in GR. Unsure if they're actually going to be going south soon or if they are tied down.
This is my life. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
If this is a problem get used to it.

They got going early. They were tied down in Plainwell over night.

Great video of their entire train, Steamlogger, thanks for sharing. There are more shortie covered hoppers than I would have expected. Great to see a long train heading north!Steamlogger wrote: ↑Fri Aug 16, 2024 6:05 amMarquette was northbound at 6 mile at 2:10 with 102 cars as seen in this video from thhe Rousche Druve crossing.
