995. If you call Julie she'll give you the train status. Too late for me to be out and about. The wife would kill me. Hope everyone gets good pictures.MQT3001 wrote:Hey anyone know what symbol this train is running as?

EDIT: Julie has "info" on 995, but no status. was supposed to be getting into ARB at 9:20 and no updates. when I was listening to the online feed of the CN Holly sub the crew seemed to be calling the siginals using the engine number, 500. but I only heard 2 siginals getting called.

Re: MI Train (WALLY) heads up
Well Julie wasn't that helpful, told me it was due into ARB at 9:41p but didn't have an current estimate. But I'm here at the ypsi freight house freezing my fingers off.

Here's a picture of it arriving into Dearborn I got with my phone
Re: MI Train (WALLY) heads up
The eastbound return from Jackson just called 11E in Dearborn with the Cabcar leading.
Re: MI Train (WALLY) heads up
It was interesting to hear them pull into Ypsilanti station, something that I have never heard before and was glad to hear. Depart was cool too, "Amtrak P500 depart Ypsilanti Station... Uhh delay in block" overall glad they did te test and glad I coul catch it

Re: MI Train (WALLY) heads up
well more then a weekend later... but I finally hopped on the Photo Desk computer today and got the video off my Camcorder and onto youtube. So without further ado, here is the MiTrain test run thru Ypsi. For those that were out there at Ypsi, I was the guy on the Freight Depot platform.
