I have no idea what they are being tested on.....afaik, the only people that ride in them is a technician of some sort for the car builder and maybe a curious Amtrak employee or two All I know is that those cars feel heavier than Amtrak's cars and that dragging that thing around on the rear of our t...

Looking south on Old M-99 in Jonesville on the IN. The trackage those cars are sitting on was the connecting track between the Old Road and the Ft. Wayne & Jackson trackage....

I lived there from March 2001 to September 2003, used to work these trains off the extra board ( back then, it was only one each way a day). The power was some ex- GO GP-40PHs' and a couple of the F59s' that NCDOT bought new from EMD. Hoping at some point that MDOT follows NCDOT lead and gets a main...

'cause there is no where else to park it and not be in the way of the other trains and still be on "Amtrak" property

(nodding solemnly) what he said....

Yet another trespasser strike in the Ann Arbor area tonight.....355 was the train involved....and with 352 already running late enough that they were held at Lake for the meet with 355, lots of unhappy passengers tonight

trespasser incident

For a town full of "smart" people, there sure are a lot of dumb ones who get hit by a train in this area

why does it need the marker lights on if it's parked ??

looks like the M-57 crossing of the GLC mainline just south of Ashley

looking west on the Ann Arbor's Saline branch from the Industrial Drive crossing. Back 7 years ago when I worked for the Annie, we would shove high cubes onto this spur for minor car repairs before they went into the Faurecia plant.

I think you mean...."I've never seen the baggage car on the front of 355 as opposed to the back YET"

it's happened before......and it'll happen again....no rhyme or reason to it

This light was put in place by the CN Signal Dept. to alert Amtrak crews that when spotting the train north of Wesson St., it was still on the circuit .....which when the idea of said light was proposed 10+ years ago, back then 350 would spot the train north of the crossing to then turn as 355 ( it ...

direct engine room access

even more amazing.....only 2 mins late turning the corner at CP-482

Who uses white?

Who said they were going to be based out of Battle Creek?? Look for them in Jackson (edit.....if and when they ever show up.....because just like their state owned cousins, continuing the pattern of mechanical issues runs in the family) and if plans for testing go off of past history, it will be dar...

Looking at The Culinary Institute of Michigan in Port Huron

Parking lights?? If you are referring to the red marker lights that are to signify the end of a train, some employees turn those on while the engine sits there, thinkin' it's a safety requirement...

Buster sayeth this: 354 was late account of another trespasser strike east of the AA station (for a town full of "smart" people, they sure do get hit alot in this area)....the way the jobs are set up( HOS plays a big factor), the crew of 354 wyes all three units after arrival into PNT and then sets ...
