Amtrak Train Location Update/Heads Up Thread 2024

Amtrak 350, running about 45 minutes late, passed MP 22.5 at 2:45 pm with a Charger on both ends.

Amtrak 351 was 20 minutes late leaving Pontiac this morning for some reason. 354 arrived on time last night so that wasn't the problem.

Amtrak 350 is powered by a P42 this morning.

Amtrak 350 is powered by a P42 this morning.

Just to clarify, you mean 350, not 351.
Right?

Yes. I meant to correct earlier that but forgot to. Sorry. 350 had a Charger leading this afternoon.

Amtrak 351 again has a P42 powering it. It left Pontiac on time this morning.

Yesterday, January 29, P42 174 was released from Beech Grove leading train 51 the Cardinal from Chicago, then was assigned to lead train 30 to DC. This is the first Genesis painted in the Phase VII red blue and deep blue scheme debuted on the ALC-42s. The red and dark blue nose with the white stripe sure stands out on the front of the train!

Phase VII paint coming soon to more legacy Amtrak equipment near you!

350, out of Pontiac on time again this morning, had a P42 again, the third day in a row by my count.

Battle Wagon (P42) leader tonight on 352. Those things will never get old for me.

Amtrak 351 had a P42 again this morning. It had a squeaky and weak horn.

[Manistique]

Amtrak 350 was 2 hours and 22 minutes late arriving in Pontiac this afternoon. It looks like it left Chicago two hours late and may have had a another delay in the way as the tracker said "it is back on the move" as of 2:22 pm where it would have been between Jackson and Ann Arbor.

Battle Wagon Alert on Amtrak 352 tonight

[Manistique]

Amtrak 355 just passed MP 22.5 at 6:17 pm, about 45 minutes late out of Pontiac.

[MQT1223]

352 clear Three Oaks with solo P42 #68 on the point, and the locomotive is clean.

[Manistique]

Amtrak 350 was about an hour and a half late departing Pontiac this morning for some reason. It had the usual (lately) P42 as power.

[Buster Manning]

supposedly it had PTC issues ----and not ITCS for a change

even more surprising was that the AML train director let the on-time 365 run in front of the late 351 outta 'da crick this morning.....I'm shocked I tell ya....

[David Collins]

supposedly it had PTC issues ----and not ITCS for a change

59mph the entire way!

However that wouldn’t work because nothing is allowed to depart an originating point without working PTC (unless said line is PTC exempt of course).

[Buster Manning]

then why did I see it running 109 mph west of Kazoo, and along with a check of it's run times out of PNT, it didn't lose time account of no ITCS

I stand by what I said

Habit forming: 351 had a P42 again this morning. And it left Pontiac on time today.
