Around 17:30 the Southbound GDLK was sitting just south of 28th street GR with a yellow and black unit, the Wisconsin Southern grey and red, and maybe 15-20 cars. Seemed a strange place for them to idle.
Grand Elk SB @ 8:37am in the far distance of Wyoming, Mi around 44th St - 50th St with what sounds like WAMX #4190 WS leading by horn
Engine rumbles heard from 2-3 miles away

E&LS had a derailment. I think it was between Iron Mountain and Sagola but I might be mistaken. Several scrap gondolas derailed and tore up the track. I don't know if it's repaired yet. Information from a Jason Asselin video.
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...
MS Z627-26? ( I never heard them go south so this could be from last week) with MMRR 2019 leading MMRR 2170 trail through Grand Haven northbound at 13:48. Must’ve finished the work on the trestle in town today

Grand Elk 303 hasn’t gone south yet. Been trackside since 6:20pm, left at 7:40pm. I’m thinking a late night run or an early run tomorrow
Haven't heard anything out of them yet, but probably because of MOW. Dump truck went south around 7:40am through Byron Center, and now some ballast regulators are working around Buck Creek regrading.
Grand Elk has been doing more maintenance work this morning around Byron Center, few pieces of track equipment working. GDLK 4017 just went south LHF solo with no cars at 1:40pm.
