My reports are usually based on hearing the horn, since I live about 200 yards from the tracks on the east side of Michigan City. I don’t have a radio running either so no leader info. If I have it I usually include it.

I believe it was for the LSRC. They were talking about a cab at Pontiac Trail which would be Wixom.
