We were in Michigan recently and leaving Three Rivers heading North toward Portage noticed tracks that appeared well maintained and active signals. A few minutes later a Southbound lite engine move went by could couldn't catch the name. Help please.

The locomotive probably said Watco, but the railroad is the Grand Elk.
