So I have to go up to Chelsea tomorrow I know you have the 6 Amtraks that run in the morning and in the evening. In between when Amtrak dosent run NS B25 goes through but I have a few questions about that. Does B25 run on Saturdays, What time does he go through Chelsea (I have caught him there once before at 1:44pm) does he return after going to Wayne (if so around what time?) And I heard about another local that terminates in Chelsea (NS B44) is that still a symbol or no? I appreciate any help.

According to da wiki, B25 and B44 don't run on Saturdays.

The wiki might be outdated as B25 used to run as B2T on weekends. I typically hear it through Ypsi between 1 and 3 PM (following the midday Amtraks) on Saturdays depending on how much work they have. Its usually back through Ypsi between 4 and 6 PM.
IIRC B25 is usually OD in Jackson around 10.
B44 should be a Jackson-area switch job and I don't believe it makes it out to Chelsea. The Jiffy-Mix plant is the only customer in the area and B25 typically switches it on their return trip.

Thank you for the info.

We left a little late, I appreciate the heads up. I will most likely try to catch the return trip whenever that will be.
