Well JT I don’t work for Amtrak however I do see them go past my house so I am really not qualified to answer this question.
350/353 will continue to operate Fri-Sat-Sun for just a couple more weeks before flipping back to daily just in time for fall colors. This allows longer mid day work windows for various MofW projects along the MI Line.blueheron13 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 03, 2023 4:48 pmLooks like 350/353 are weekend-only for a while: https://www.amtrak.com/alert/wolverine- ... ended.htmlManistique wrote: ↑Thu Aug 03, 2023 3:32 pmIs 350 operating this summer?

Thanks, Nathan. As long as it's running on a Saturday, I'll be happy.GP30M4216 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 25, 2023 3:24 pm350/353 will continue to operate Fri-Sat-Sun for just a couple more weeks before flipping back to daily just in time for fall colors.
