Couple hours ago was lined for Tappan after clearing Port Huron
No. It's in Canada. Out of Toronto several hours ago.
This is all foam/sweat pants rumor. Mt. Clemens sub was never closed and the train was still at Brantford at 5:15 PM. Lack of crews in PH means it might be staged for a while.

M397 coming next. Then most likely another EB. There’s an X396 on the South Bend sub headed to BC.

Also, CN 5286 a zebra SD-40 or whatever was the Lansing local engine for a bit. We really enjoyed her here. She will be missed. #RIP5286
