355 clear 32W with the 517 trailing.

judging by the lack of updates, most of you figured it would be just another 355. as did I, but something told me to go out there with my camera in hand.

What was the lead loco (is this the same set with #127 as the lead unit---caught that set on #353, 8-14 and 8-17)?

Washed is alwayz good!!!! My favorite (and probably most others) look of these locos is the "Pepsi Can" scheme! Phase 4 is lastly followed by Phase 5 (favorites go in order from oldest to newest, 5 is the worst--but not bad)!!!! It doesn't matter what colors they are in, even seeing these in Michigan is a plus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

whatever 354 has goes home on 353 generally, but not lately during the trackwork out near Jackson. So it was 517 and 193 on 354 last night.

350 had 26 and 13.

pretty sure 352 flips as 351, just like it normally does, and I think that 354 flips as 355 the next night. this is on weekdays, on weekends Amtrak trains run as they norally do

Amtrak 352 went into emergency at Moterm. They hit 4 or 5 empty containers that blew across the tracks as a thunderstorm passed through. There are no injuries reported, but both mains on the Holly are blocked by debris.
