Amtrak Updates 11/28-12/11

[Mackinac Mac]

Was wondering if anyone could post consists for Amtrak for the next few weeks, as winter approaches I always like to shoot them in the snow, but more so, I would like to get more shots of the NPCUs which don't seem to be as frequent as of late. Any NPCU updates would be appreciated, especially from the West side of the state.. anything on 354 or 352 that might lead in the morning on 351 or 353. Thanks!

90215 will be leading 353 today

The 74 seat coach from 351's train, 54552, is not turning on 354. The 54552 and 54550, both assigned to Los Angeles, will deadhead back "home" on the head end of train 3 on 12/1.

One coach from 371, 35008, is going to Brighton Park, and not turning on 370. The 90413 is in CHI and wasn't on yesterday's 370.

Amtrak 354 through Dearborn, MI at 1:34am, 1 hour and 39 minutes late. 37 leading the way with a frightful sounding K5LA and no rear unit. Looks like 353 will have no rear unit. 2 Amfleets.. one might have been a Cafe?

[Buster Manning]

Yeah, that horn is DREADFUL!!! My ears still have a buzz going in them....

First Amtube was the cafe, second was a coach.....

Noticed you guys had a good amount of snow on front of the engine

[conrail767596]

This may change, but as of 11am, 352(05) shows the 90413 as the leader. I'd imagine they'd wye it if that's the case.

[cnw8835]

As of yesterday, P370/P371 has the 832, 3 superliners and the 90200.

[GP30M4216]

Amtrak 352 through Depot Town (Ypsilanti) at 6:40pm about 45 minutes behind....

Genesis 27
