December 16th, 2012 was a rainy day in West Michigan, but that didn't stop me from railfanning. Heard Z151 on the scanner clearing Fuller Junction, so I raced down the hill from the grandparent's house to see GLLX 3003 lead the charge on Z151 northbound. The twin GLLX SD40-2s put on a smoke show as they clear CSX Trackage and begin to gain speed, and more importantly, momentum, they'll need to battle the hill to Sparta and out of the Grand River Basin. 

Locomotive Consist:
- GLLX 3003 [SD40-2]
- MQT 2004 [GP38-2]
- GLLX 3001 [SD40-2]

Location/Time:
- MQT Grand Rapids Sub, Walker, MI, North Park St xing, on 12-16-12 at 16:23 EST
