| Description: |
2008 currently sports a Nathan M3 horn, which unfortunantly sounded like a single chime honker on this day. |

Z151 Northbound at Fuller |
| Description: |
Heading north past the signals for Fuller diamond, the crossing with the Grand Rapids Eastern (ex GTW). To the right of 2008, just out of sight, is the bridge that carried the Pennsy (GR&I) over the creek. The PRR and PM paralelled each other north out of Grand Rapids until Comstock Park, where the Pennsy swung east across the PM and went towards Cadillac. Fuller Jct was once a busy place with PM (later C&O), PRR (later PC then CR) and GTW trains all passing through, and still sees around 4 trains a day. |

Prepare the Ark! |
| Description: |
Marquette Rail's Z151 heads across the flood-swollen waters of the Grand River on CSX's bridge in downtown Grand Rapids. The river will supposedly crest 3 days from now, might be to the tracks by then! |

Z151 Entering "Lake Wyoming" |
| Description: |
GLLX 3002 leads 4433, 2006 and 2008 into the east end of CSX's Wyoming yard, passing the old TOFC ramps. Parts of the yard have recently been submerged due to flooding, with all of the crews referring to it as "Lake Wyoming". |

| Title: |
MQT Z151 Northbound |
| Description: |
Marquette Rail heads north across the Grand River again as the waters continue to rise. They were planning on taking the train up near Kent City, cutting off the engines and running engine light back down to Wyoming yard one last time. CSX closed the bridge Friday morning after parking a string of loaded covered hoppers on it to "anchor" it, effectively cutting off MQT, GRE, C&M and CSX's customers north of the river. |
