Re: NS MI update 6/29/09 mysterious train?

JJ, Amtrak schedules for the Wolverine route have recently changed as you probably have figured out. 353 doesn't arrive into Ann Arbor at 12:56 anymore. It comes earlier. To my knowledge, I know that 350, 352, 353 and 355 have changed. I'm not sure about 351 and 354. Of course, you can go to Amtrak'...

Re: AMTK 3/11/09

I caught 350 in Depot Town in Ypsilanti around 3:05 pm. Norfolk Southern folks were installing a new crossbuck at River Street. The train stopped and a conductor got out, and flagged the train through the intersection. Video here:

Re: Ann Arbor to Detroit commuter line moves forward.

JJ, at West Detroit Junction, CR and CN tracks cross. Two CR tracks then sharply turn north that run parallel to two CN tracks. The CN tracks on the north side are where the current Detroit station is located. Currently Amtrak trains go along the sharp curve and cross over. The CN portion is only li...

Re: Ann Arbor to Detroit commuter line moves forward.

SEMCOG is still negotiating with Norfolk Southern - Conrail and Canadian National. I emailed Palombo recently and he said that the service would offer 4 round trips (4 each way) daily and 3 round trips on weekends. NS has been cooperative, but CN not so much. Originally, CN only wanted 2 additional ...

Re: AMTK 3/8 and 3/9/09

Hmm... I was in Ypsilanti last night and caught 352 going eastbound arounnd 6:20. I called the Amtrak automated line to see when 355 would be passing through and was told SERVICE DISRUPTION. So I gave up and got some Wendy's at EMU's Student Centre. As I was driving on Huron eastward, I saw 355 with...

Re: AMTK 2/12 and 2/13/09

I went on a train excursion today. I took 350 to Detroit, went downtown for a couple of hours and took 355 back. Although 350 was late into AA, there weren't any problems afterwards. On the way back, we stopped in Wayne so 352 could pass. It was dark out, but I think a NS train was parked on the tra...

Re: NS Michigan Line 12-30-2008

I was railfanning in Depot Town around 12:50 when the westbound Amtrak passed through. All of the gates were functioning at that time.
