He was by Michigan City around 11:00 CT.

Now, at 00:01 CT, there’s an eastbound passing Michigan City, not sure what it is.

Right behind it, coming off the NS at Porter, is another train. I’m guessing one is an M326, and the other a loaded coal.

Edit: this second train by Michigan City at 00:26 CT
