LIRC 2304 in the consist? After a little research the number is 2304 and not 2403 as I and others had reported it as initially.
Update: L305 turned at Howell today.

[SD80MAC]

Amtrak P370-25 eastbound has been canceled which means Amtrak P371-26 westbound will not run.

Thanks for this, I had forgotten even though it was posted all over the for the last week.

You’re welcome although I was a little late posting it I do apologize. Amtrak didn’t announce the cancellation for this particular train until after 4 o’clock Sunday afternoon. (Not quite sure where you saw it posted all over for the last week )
SERVICE ALERT: Due to manpower issues, Pere Marquette Train 370 has canceled. For further assistance, please call/text 1-800-USA-RAIL.

The unlevel nature of that camera annoys me slightly. I wish they would fix it.

P370's crews are based out of GR. They work 371 to Chicago, lay over during the day, and work 371 home that evening. Given that 371 hasn't run for days, a fresh crew should have deadheaded in from GR this afternoon to run 370.

So... if this is the truth... somehow, all the GR crews are sick, on vacation, or running other trains on other lines where they are qualified... and the only crew Amtrak can come up with is one that too recently ran one of the non-cancelled trains.

Wow. I feel bad for the crews.
