Re: Amtrak Train Locations/Heads Up - 2022
It's a movement on the CSX Grand Rapids subdivision. I do not see why we are overcomplicating things. The system we have is used for a reason, we aren't just being cpmy-ish and refusing to innovate.
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.
Re: Amtrak Train Locations/Heads Up - 2022
Amtrak Update in the Amtrak Threads...makes perfect sense. If a visitor comes here looking for Amtrak updates, they will never think to look in the CSX threads for it.
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...

But as a long time user I may not think to check here to find it since I know it should be in the CSX section

Says an individual who has not ever really demonstrated that they use the TLUs, like many of us do. And we'd like to find all the trains for a single line in a single thread!

Re: Amtrak Train Locations/Heads Up - 2022
Amtrak 355 with all the new coaches was delayed departing Pontiac by 45 minutes for some reason. They held a NB freight for him (because of the crazy crossover requirement to get from the depot to Main 1) then let the freight go.
It passed MP 22.5 SB on the Holly at 10 mph with a Charger on each end, which it did not have coming into Pontiac.

Re: Amtrak Train Locations/Heads Up - 2022
Believe it or not, that was a reverse move, conductor was on the lead unit and the engineer was on the tail, the engineer made me laugh a bit when they saw the drone and turned the headlights on full brightness , got it at Charing Cross.Manistique wrote: ↑Tue May 24, 2022 6:42 pmAmtrak 355 with all the new coaches was delayed departing Pontiac by 45 minutes for some reason.

Re: Amtrak Train Locations/Heads Up - 2022
Now I am wondering if this wasn't another 20 mile shove move to Milwaukee Junction? That maybe the spare locomotive at Pontiac didn't work when coupled onto the train there for the SB run and so they put the NB locomotive back on the rear and just shoved it out of town? There was someone in the trailing unit that gave me a toot as it passed by, maybe the engineer?

At this point we might as well give 370/371 its own thread! Goodness gracious!
