Final miles
Michigan Shore train Z627 is rolling off the last two miles of their southbound Journey to interchange with CSX at Holland MI. CSX's Holland yard is only about a half mile in front of them but the crew will have to roll past it and shove in from the east end as the Fremont sub connects to the main in the middle of the yard. The train consists of mostly loaded Chara ash cars that are bound for the ash dump in Essexville MI. This business is roughly 10 cars a day, 5 days a week for about the next 2 years as an environmental clean up takes place at the former B.C. Cobb plant in Muskegon MI. The call colors are just starting to peak in this area but are still a couple weeks away at this point.
