Amtrak looks to be in semi-meltdown mode as of 10:25 PM, every Michigan line train is delayed by at least 40 minutes.

30, 364 and 354 both got nuked by NS, 370 got nuked at CUS, and something happened to 355 between Ann Arbor and Jackson.David Collins wrote: ↑Tue Mar 15, 2022 10:24 pmAmtrak looks to be in semi-meltdown mode as of 10:25 PM, every Michigan line train is delayed by at least 40 minutes.
Par for the course these days. I don't have a high opinion of Amtrak's ability to dispatch a train with functional equipment, nor NS' ability to dispatch their railroad.
Re: Amtrak Train Locations/Heads Up - 2022
There have been two ballast trains of Amtrak hoppers from ?Birdsboro, PA that NS takes to Wayne and another train sets them off in Jackson. I wonder what project the ballast is being used for? Incidentally, the 60M today has the NS 1067 (Reading colors) as sole power.

3:25 PM; I’m at Costco in Bloomfield Hills and I’m hearing a charger K5LA, he arrived about 25 minutes ago, is 350/355 back to wyeing and having a protect unit staged in Pontiac? I haven’t been to the station since late last month and I didn’t see any units staged.

350 was about a half hour late into Pontiac today and yes there is the spare locomotive there so no they don't have to wye 350 to become 355, just swap the locomotives.

Re: Amtrak Train Locations/Heads Up - 2022
I got a video of AMTK 518/AMTK 519 heading east through Kalamazoo on Saturday 4/9. AMKT 519 was in the lead and they were all by their lonesome. I caught them at the 4th st crossing close to West Main/Red Arrow Hwy.LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Tue Apr 12, 2022 1:41 pm13:28 - AMTK 972 clear CP18 dumping ballast westbound. AMTK 518/AMTK 519/NS 1067

Re: Amtrak Train Locations/Heads Up - 2022
Are these Amtrak® units kept in Jackson? Where can I find? Will they operate a "Ballast Train" this week? I'd be looking for them if I come out to this line Friday (4-22)!!!!Dowagiac Train Dude wrote: ↑Tue Apr 12, 2022 3:23 pmI got a video of AMTK 518/AMTK 519 heading east through Kalamazoo on Saturday 4/9.
