Waiting For A Southbound In The Greenville Passing Track

With our switching complete, we are heading back to Hidden Valley. At Greenville we have to stop and wait for an outbound pulled by an Erie switcher.
This was filmed during the May 2024 meet at the White Creek Railroad near Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Currently the railroad hosts three multiple day operating sessions a year. Each car has a Card with a waybill showing where to deliver. Once at a town this Card is placed in a box near the water tower and the front Card is picked out. This will be the car that is returned to Hidden Valley Yard. The yard will turn the waybill for the cars next trip.
