So since 38 is ITCS equipped now, the currently in-service ITCS units are 26-38 and 126-127? That's a total of 15, down from 20 when we included 128 plus NPCU's 90200, 90215, 90219, 90222 and 90225. If the NPCU's are off the Michigan Line for good (which it seems most definite), then it seems to me that it would make sense to add the equipment onto a similar number of other units to ensure sufficient power can be available at all times for these trains.

PS - nice video!

What happened to 352 out between Niles and Kalamazoo today? They were over 3 hours late in Kalamazoo today.

[Buster Manning]

353 had an 'incident' in Mattawan, blocking 352 for awhile......
