Stopped at Ann Pere again? Quite the time discrepancy between your post and a text message from my father informing me of their location.
I had mentioned in the GLC updates but not here, during the last few times this was reported, I observed a clear signal northbound at Ann Pere diamond.
Not sure if a cause or a symptom but no doubt part of the issues CSX crews have been experiencing on their way west.
