anyone know why Amtrak 352 is running about 2 and a half hours behind?

[GTWChris]

It could be because of the 353 accident this afternoon, or just could be normal delays. 352 is rounding the bend right now.

There was an accident earlier? I didn't hear anything cause I was busy working and my mind has been kinda occupied with the Mega Millions drawing all day, lol.

[GTWChris]

Well not an accident they hit a pedestrian in Ypsilanti.

People will never learn, will they? I live in Royal Oak and last Saturday evening I watched as 352 made its way through town and I saw a bunch of people walking on the tracks.

352 died at just east of "Hill" in Jackson, had to await an engineer that got stuck in traffic, then met 355 at Chelsea

[TwisterJay29]

So it is not coming then?

[Scooterb]

It got recrewed an hour or so ago then went into the sideing at chelsea, for 355, so yes it should still be on its way.

[TwisterJay29]

I was going to go out and see if I could catch it. It said that it was supposed to come through here at 9:30 but now it doesn't have any time listed.

[Scooterb]

Well just heard 355 lost its headlights, but ditchlights are working. dispatchers says .....proceed.

[TwisterJay29]

It has not been a good summer for Amtrak, has it? lol

[GTWChris]

352 just cleared Milwaukee.
