Re: CN Updates

I saw 2716 rolling through Ferndale around 9 Mile. It was between 7:45 and 7:50 pm. Another train had preceded it about 15 minutes earlier which I presume was 491. About 3 minutes after 2716 had gone by, Amtrak 352 came roaring through. The front was 126 and the back was 27.

Amtrak

Amtrak 350 passed Harrison in Royal Oak about 2:30 pm. The engine up front was 127 and I believe it was 90222 in the back.

Re: Amtrak

Re: Amtrak

People will never learn, will they? I live in Royal Oak and last Saturday evening I watched as 352 made its way through town and I saw a bunch of people walking on the tracks.

Re: Amtrak service

I have thought about take a ride on an Amtrak train for awhile to see what it would be like. When I was younger, I used to be a die hard train fan. I would walk up to the railroad tracks by my house and watch trains especially on Saturdays and Sundays when I wasn't in school. I am still a train fan ...

Cops on the railroad tracks in Royal Oak

I was going through downtown Royal Oak at about 7:30 this evening and as I was crossing the railroad tracks on Washington I saw a couple of police cars pulling off the tracks. They were coming from the direction of the train terminal. Anyone else see or hear anything about this?

Re: Train Traffic

I am about a little over a mile away from the railroad tracks. Other than 3 of the Amtraks, I have only heard 1 freight train that has gone through today and that was about 25 minute ago. I know there used to be a lot that came through Royal Oak. I was just wondering how many come through Royal Oak ...

I was wondering if someone could tell me usually how many trains pass through Royal Oak each day besides the 6 Amtrak trains.

Amtrak

What is going on with Amtrak? I live in Royal Oak and I have been noticing how their trains passing through here are coming through here anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour and 10 minutes late. Can anyone tell me why that is?
