Amtrak Train Location Updates 2019
Amtrak Train Location Updates 2019
Train #364 left Chicago 5 hours late. Yesterday it left 1'26" late and arrived Pt. Huron 4'25" late or 3:56 AM. Even turning the clocks back an hour won't help this train. Anyone know what's up with AMTK Chicago?
Re: Amtrak November Observations
Train #350 left Chicago this morning 1'39" late. Something is going at Chicago with power, cars, crews? Yesterday #354 left 5 hours late. MDOT blames most of the usual tardiness on the host railroads. Not the case here.

Re: Amtrak November Observations
Is there more track work going on between Dearborn and Ann Arbor? Every westbound train seems to lose 5-15 minutes on this stretch. Or freight interference? The only junction is as Wayne, and the whole point of the needed re-double-tracking in this stretch was the facilitate freight and passenger meets with no delay. So.....what gives?
Re: Amtrak November Observations
For 355 The meet has been happening at CP 28 (CP Ypsi) more often then not as of late due to a late 352. As for the other trains I haven’t noticed anything weird.
355 by 30 west at 8:01 pm with the normal set plus 2 P42’s on the rear

Re: Amtrak November Observations
Amtrak 49 (16) was significantly delayed leaving the NYC area last night and is now approaching Cleveland 4 + hours late. If anyone wants to see it in good daylight rolling west, today would be a good day!
EDIT: 49 departed Toledo 3 hrs 45 mins late right at 10am.

Re: Amtrak November Observations
From late last month:
AMTRAK’S PENNSYLVANIAN NOW OFFERING CHECKED BAGGAGE AND BIKE SERVICE

The daily Amtrak around Horseshoe Curve is a little more substantial now!

Re: Amtrak November Observations
Amtrak 354 from Chicago to Pontiac arrived in Pontiac around 8:15 am this morning, about seven hours late. Website said "service disruption." Bad start to the busy holiday weekend for the Wolverines.

Re: Amtrak Train Location Updates 2019
Amtrak 351 about an hour and 45 minutes late out of Pontiac this morning for some reason. Longer holiday train again, looked like 8 cars instead of the usual five.
Re: Amtrak Train Location Updates 2019
The consist at Pontiac Station has noticeably more cars than usual

Re: Amtrak Train Location Updates 2019
All the Wolverines have had power on each end and, with the exception of 350/355, an extra two or three coaches this Christmas travel week. They have been running pretty close to on-time from I have noticed out back.
