Yes they are, Amtrak P371 originates in Grand Rapids & ends in Chicago. Then in the evening, P370 originates in Chicago & ends in Grand Rapids. The only stops in-between are St Joseph Mi, Holland Mi & Bangor Mi. Some evenings, we've seen a person or 2 boarding at Bangor & headed for either Holland or Grand Rapids.

D705 cleared the bridge in Grand Ledge (100.2) at 11:50am. CSX 3123 & 405. Didn’t get a car count, but it was a short train, maybe 20-30 cars.

Loaded coal departing New Buffalo siding as of noon sharp. Sounds like an ACe leader.
