As of 11am nothing has been heard & I had also checked the overnight scanner archives.

Thanks Tom, and for the current update. I will see what time he makes New Buffalo maybe.

Lite power consisting of a P42 facing east and a Dash 8 facing west just went east onto the Amtrak Michigan line near Porter. Any idea where that is headed?

Thankfully for the crew they were able to slow down enough to avoid killing him. Thankfully for him, he wasn't killed. I'm glad he was cited for his stupidity. It makes me wonder how loud the headphones had to be playing in order for him not to hear a train horn right behind him. Hit by a train, an...

503 out running already?

Is the 303 running north out of Kalamazoo today?

Can somebody give an updated diesel roster. I'm not sure what's dead or alive when I go by Hughart Yard. 7030 and I think 4124 are currently OOS. Are 3534 and 3531 still around, or did one go out for work? Also interested in the whereabouts of the 3531. It was one of the originals on the property. ...

Northbound GDLK 302 should be just through Three Rivers with an NS Geep leading standard Elk power.

401 is departing Durand westbound at 10:48am with UP 1995 leading. Does this train go beyond Battle Creek? For those who don't know 1995 is in CNW pain, up with a flag on it. By 205 at 1225.

V77819

CSX 69, 239 as of now for power

Ten minutes to, apply handbrakes, uncouple, dial dispatch, wait, wait, wait, get lined around, run north, dial dispatch, wait, wait, run south, recouple, move marker, release handbrakes. Hah, child prodigy is a little off on this hard decision. But when you think you're always right, you always are.

Theres been a change, GM siding is full of cars now. So the plan is the run arounds will be at Park and Cowling both times. Being power switches it will take a little longer. Might limit the view in both directions from the theater car, but a push-pull arrangement would save a whole lot of effort. ...

Do you have a locomotive number? I wonder if this is the one that left Monon?

Indeed it is. 3001.

A pure Santa Fe GP20u is headed to Defiance today from Garrett on the local. Will it be replacing the Gettysburg Geep?
