Amtrak 350 passed MP 22.5 on the Holly Sub at 2:58 pm, about an hour late today.

And get this from Amtrak's Train Status Report: As of 1:24 PM CT, due to equipment issues, Wolverine Train 355 has been canceled. Alternate transportation will be provided. For further assistance, please call/text 1-800-USA-RAIL.

16:05 - L508 taking the High Wye in Durand

[Manistique]

507 past MP 22.5 at 5 pm.

And at 5:35, right on time, Amtrak 355 just went past MP 22.5 on the Holly Sub. so it isn't canceled. The Amtrak Train Status must be screwed up as it still shows it canceled as earlier. Poor Amtrak. At least trains are running now.

I’m hearing 355 go through Royal Oak right now. Weird that it took only 5 minutes to go
from 22.5 to Royal Oak

Maybe it is deadheading back to Chicago and didn't stop in Troy or Royal Oak. The coaches did look a bit dark. But why? Amtrak.

508 just rolled past MP 22.5 at 6:13 pm. Another short train. What is going on? Is this just on the Holly or system-wide? Car numbers are about 20% from what they were just a month ago by my estimation.

This was actually a VERY early E251, pretty wild to see it still under a mile long 3 weeks after the shutdown.

Did 251 work Pontiac yard today? He was lined by Opdyke in a way that trains would normally get lined into the yard (flashing yellow over green) when he went by this morning.
