hi tom
i think they will run past 371 beyond the ee of saugatuck, back in on 371 couple up and depart for sunnyside,
wye the train at sunnyside, then run in reverse from the north wye to pleasant st, then into the station. that
way the train that has the pasenger will be able to depart them on to the station platform, same for loading 371 the next morning.
better then having the passengers and crew walk to the platform in 8 to 10 inches of snow.

This plan makes sense. Spending an hour to couple up at E Saugatuck less so, but oh well

And 8-10" of snow? Try double that!

Amtrak P370-17 @ 9:35pm reported by the DD mp CG91.9 with 16 axles & 304 feet long. Amtrak Engine #83 (a P42 Genesis) & 3 cars. Tracker shows him painted gray & "Service Disruption" note for Bangor & Holland & Grand Rapids Stations. Don't know if it's still in the plans for him to go to Saugatuck Siding mp CG32 to pick up this morning's Amtrak P371 that had tied down there.

How many years has it been since a P42 was up here?
