251 is now underway. The only damage they suffered is a ditch light that is now burned out

13:30 CN 116 GTW 8952, dolled up in GTW paint, stopped at Pontiac. I'm assuming 116 is lying in wait for Amtrak and 251 coming from the south. Stuck around the area until 14:30 and 116 had not left the Yak, nor had 251/Amtrak arrived.
