Oh, so THIS is what high speed rail would look like on the Pere Marquette! (I kid, 100% realize they are just rolling along at passenger speeds.)
I was going to chase them a bit but seeing how early they are, I’m just going to wait and see them 5 minutes from home. If you plan to catch this today, sage advice says arrive early. They don’t seem to be wasting any time.

About 1:45 ahead of posted schedule above and rumor has it the GR stop has been cancelled. Nothing more than a 10 minute crew change and they will be throwing Fun-Sized Snickers at the employees in the yard.

The city of Holland has a live cam with a setting for the Holland Train Station at mp CG25.3 (it's default has the cam aimed at the station). The cam only stays connected for 10 minutes when you go to their site & you'll have to refresh the page each time it expires (you'll see it's clock stop). Once there, scroll down a bit since they have more than 1 cam available for different areas of Holland. Here's the link:
