Hmm... I was in Ypsilanti last night and caught 352 going eastbound arounnd 6:20. I called the Amtrak automated line to see when 355 would be passing through and was told SERVICE DISRUPTION. So I gave up and got some Wendy's at EMU's Student Centre. As I was driving on Huron eastward, I saw 355 with a Genesis unit leading (and I think at the end too) and 3 superliners coming towards my way going towards Ann Arbor. That's weird.

Typically, when you hear about a service disruption on 355, it's account of 350 terminating in DET and then starting there as 355; this happens if 350 is late enough that 355 wouldn't depart on time out of PNT---which our current 'regime' seems to care the most about, nevermide what happens out on the road

Got home from school and turned on the scanner and heard 350 coming in to AA 2 hours late
