Re: Great Lakes Central Updates May 2024

TY LRF What is ONTN scheduled start time? So far it seems the new GM is keeping the south turn on a day schedule. I have been told there is less congestion at their interchanges during the day so it seems like it would make sense if that is true. 09:06 - GLC "OSTN" is SB thru Durand with 382/391 and...

In Detroit, CSX currently seems to have very little presence or interest in Conrail anymore, aside from the intermodal to and from Livernois, and a CSX Dispatcher controlling the Lincoln Secondary.

An outbreak of severe weather across portions of IL, IA and OH. If you are in any shaded regions pay attention to media, have your radio on in your car and have emergency alerts enabled on your phone.

Re: Would You Rather?

Would you rather have to speak in rhyme for the rest of your life or have to speak in riddles for the rest of your life? Both are fun but I think rhyming will serve me better like former President Obama Would you rather have to work next to someone who clears their throat or has an annoying laugh?
