Ah, we have another maintenance window affecting Amtrak again?

Checking the reservation site shows the schedule change only for today and tomorrow. A friend of mine currently living along the Grand Rapids Terminal was very surprised when they passed by around 6:20am, waking him up. Both of us are curious why there was no announcement made about this.

It was announced on here yesterday:
viewtopic.php?f=20&t=24413&start=20

Also a friend of mine received a call from Amtrak that the train was running an hour earlier Monday and Tuesday, as he had previously made reservations on the train for Monday, 5/14/12.

A 100 axle train just went through DD91.9 a little bit ago, but my scanner is getting severe interference right now, and couldn't tell who it was.
It sounds like they are stopping out by Gray....could be D006.

edit: It's D006-14, and they want to stop west of Gray, and apparently the crew is going to recrew an N903, but the RN says that would make it single track between Kirk and Livingston because of the way the cross-over is set up.

[Jochs]

N903-14 is currently going through St. Joseph.
At DD91.9 at 11:44pm: no defects, 528 axles, 6935 ft.

D006-14 is stopped near Gray, and the crew from D006 will recrew N903 at Riverside.
