Amtrak train 30 eastbound through Chesterton, Indiana @ 7:58pm.

Heads up, Amtrak 941 should be heading south from Pontiac anytime now with Amtrak 500 leading.

will have the update when they clear ypsi and when they return

Amtrak 500 departing Pontiac at this time.

It'd be nice if someone could report when the Amtrak Hospital Train leaves the Detroit area, and can confirm it running down the NS Detroit Line. (assuming it's still planned for that routing)

941 @ Vinewood, 11:44pm.

It is supposed to run out of Detroit via CSX on the Lincoln Secondary. It's supposed to depart Livernois yard around 7am.

Now it's getting confusing, since in the topic that started it all people were saying it's routing got changed to the NS Detroit Line to avoid having to change directions around Toledo. I guess if someone can confirm what route it is on shortly after departure would help a lot.

EDIT: Also, since AMTK 500 is on the move - where's the other engine coming from for this move?

353 has 126 and 38.
