Amtrak 351 just passed MP 22.5 on the Holly, about an hour and a half late leaving Pontiac this morning.
They're now 2.5 hours down, approaching Ypsi while #353 is on-time approaching Detroit.

Sorry. Today's #350/355 did not have Venture cars. Maybe another day this week?

This morning 351 left Detroit 8 min LT and was 33 min LT leaving Dearborn. I heard on the radio feed the AML train director got a track foreman to release TK 2, from CP 9 to CP 18 at 6:45, but would not release 351 from Town Line until the agent at Dearborn station had been advised the train was coming in on 2. AML said he called a few times and the agent did not pick up, so he asked the train crew if they had a means of contact, which they did. After the train crew verified the agent had been notified, 351 was released and it arrived DEA at 7:15. I thought DEA had an island platform serving both tracks - why would this have been an issue?

Dearborn does not have an island, but a bridge to connect the station with track 2. Despite the flexibility of having a double track arrangement, Amtrak almost exclusively uses track 1, and a track 2 arrival would require passengers to climb the stairs or navigate two slooooow elevators (and maybe unlock a security gate?) to get over to the far track. No problem with advance notice, but it would take a while if everyone realized it at the same moment as the train was coasting onto the platform.

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.

I will await for a ruling from ~Z~ and/or AARR & should they decide my Amtrak posts are better served in the CSX Thread where I had been posting all along, then, I shall be governed accordingly.
