7:38 PM: Amtrak 352 is about to turn at Milwaukee Junction with a venture car on the tail.

Anyone know where 514 is?

7:55 PM: 352 is turning at Milwaukee, possibly running on Main 2 tonight since the M1 signal at 22 for southbounds is still currently in default aspect (green)

8:05 PM: 352 is approaching Ferndale, I’m like 99% sure he’s on M2 since the SB M1 signal at 22 is still default and 514 isn’t set to leave anytime soon.

8:08 PM: Amtrak 352 reported by Ferndale, confirmed on M2, very interesting that they’re running on M2 tonight.

8:13 PM: 352 stopped short of Moterm, I believe 514 maybe getting ready to blast off.

[LansingRailFan]

E251 north at Ecorse at 9:45. CN 3174, CN 3182, CN 2521, and UP 6533. 124 cars.

UP 6533/CN 2521 led Q116 last night? So does that leave CN 3182/CN 3174 to lead yesterdays A450?

[David Collins]

8:16 PM: 352 stopped for a lazy dispatcher I guess, they stopped him for less than 5 minutes for no apparent reason and he’s back on the move as of 8:18, he is to diverge onto M1 at Moterm.

[David Collins]

8:29 PM: 352 is supposedly stopped due to an issue with the venture car, I’m going to leave here since it’s freezing and I’ve got stuff to do

Track in RO needed to be inspected. 514 was held on Main 1 north of RO for two hours. 352 waited at Moterm for 514 to clear after the track was inspected. Only 15 minutes late into Pontiac.

E251 north at Ecorse at 9:45. CN 3174, CN 3182, CN 2521, and UP 6533. 124 cars.

That's right. 116 and 450 combined in Pontiac and continued with the power from both of them. Crew turned in FR and came back on 251.
