Switching Standard Lumber in Grandville July 23, 1989

You never see them use that runaround track anymore in Grandville and you never see a three man crew unless it's a trainee. A B & O capital dome GP 40 and caboose. Great video.

With L301 switching here they can do it on their way back to Grand Rapids. When this was filmed this was switched by a crew that worked around Wyoming yard. The Cannonball was still running to Muskegon.

I assume the two empty boxcars were pick ups from the packaging plant by Ivanrest.

I thought that at first also but they were on the wrong track in the first clip. Not sure where they came from. The open doors are the wrong side for Columbian.

​​@@steamloggerthe dock at PCA is on the East/South side of the spur. However, you're right that they came off #2 track... Maybe Cold Storage or Elston Richards?
