350 pulled into Pontiac at 6:02 pm. They had one engine today, IDTX 4626. Wying and 514 stalling out added to the delays for 355.

Not quite....there were 'issues' in the yard that slowed down the wyeing process....and 514 was on main 1, which doesn't effect the wye move at all

391 came up the hill into Pontiac behind the 514-513 combo....two 5700's on the point

From ATCS, at 1:18 AM, it looks like a local train is on the siding between North Chapman and South Chapman on the Shoreline Sub. I believe there is a spur to a customer that is accessed from that siding. Conrail1 or anyone else, what train would this be?

As part of all the Amtrak excitement last night with 350 arriving in Pontiac 3 hours late and leaving as 355 four hours late and 352 arriving in Pontiac about three hours late, 355 and 352 had a rolling meet at MP 22.0 near Opdyke Road at 10:20 pm and then Train 502 followed it down the Hill, passing MP 22.5 at 10:40 pm.

And just now at 6:22 am two Amtrak P42's running both in reverse lite went NB past MP 22.5 on their way to Pontiac.

And to make Amtrak matters worse, the morning 350 hasn't left Pontiac yet and is shown as being 43 minutes late doing so.

Exciting times on Amtrak on the Holly lately. Wonder what is going on?

Edit: 351 just passed MP 22.5 at 7:13 am with six cars and on P42, a bit over an hour late out of Pontiac.
