CSX Y297 was at Ann St. around 6:15. Looks like more hoppers for King and the yard still has more in it.

16:50 - SB Z646-24 with 825 LHF up front and 823 ff on the rear with 8 tank cars for the ZFS transload.LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Tue Sep 24, 2024 11:58 amJAIL NB into Ensel Yard at 10:20 with 822/825 and 47 cars.
CSX L304 left them with over 40 cars last night and they’ve got a full interchange track of +20 to pickup at New Hollow Yard from CN today.
At 11:50 they are working in Saginaw Yard with some tank cars over Saginaw hwy
- day crew bypassed work in Ensel for just CN and Saginaw Yard. CN brought more cars after jail picked up the interchange.
- JAIL Z646 was NB out of Mason around 22:00 with a fresh crew. More work at CN as a friend heard them blowing for W. Michigan Ave crossing around 23:00. I did see an empty flat car staged at Alro yesterday when I was driving around so that might have been picked up as well.
Should be another day run to work those cars at Ensel and whatever else. 825/823 seem to be favored units right now on the JAIL.

Elk should be NB at this point. About 10:45 they were working Otsego. When we got back home a few minutes ago, no scanner chatter nor EOT telemetry.
Trails to Rails. Put the track back.

Re: Shortline Updates - September 2024
Short MQT northbound tied down just below the Grant Depot tonight, with 3413, 3408, 3343 and maybe 12-15 cars. Assume they will go north on Sunday as usual.
A whole line of MofW track equipment in one of the tracks in the MAC yard in Newaygo. It looks like they’ve been busy.
