Q33516, CSX 4536+737+8343+ HLCX 7175+ CSX 4035 with 195 cars is approaching Williamston at 10:50.

A crew arrived at Webberville grain to put together the empty phosphate train and now that Q335 has gone west, has permission to open up and do so. The CP-UP power should still be there from this train, and more than likely will take it back west to GRP after they run around it at Fowlerville. Train will be K83116.

The K03116 empty fertilizer train from Webberville, with new crew, and now known as G010, has run around their train at Fowlerville and now on their way back to GRP with 60 cars. Axel count shows 260 axles so if they have 60 cars, would have to have four units. 5429 now leading.

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

Amtrak P370 moving onto the CSX at Porter, IN at 20:28 EDT. AMTK 114 LEADING. 20 AXLES, 370 FEET AT 131.3 DD.


Don't think any trains have been through St. Joseph area since Amtrak P371 went through this morning, more than 12 hours ago.

Is Kyle listening to the feed, too? :)

Please do not poke at the ramp agent because he has the power to make your vacation
memorable or miserable. It all depends on what flight you bags go on.

Sounds like 370 is just getting restricted proceed indications, still after passing their stop at Joy 125 with RN permission... they just called one, could not make out where, though.

Trains on the Garrett-Barr subs are currently going restricted just west of Willow Creek due to kids putting objects on the tracks for trains.

EDIT---- AMTRAK P370 NOW MOVING AT 60 MPH PASSING INDIANA-MICHIGAN STATE LINE AT 21:11 EDT.

Sounds like a lot of headache at the Calumet City dispatching center tonight!

Amtrak P370-17 with AMTK 114 leading east has a clear indication at Vine at 21:34 EDT. 20 axles, 363 feet at 91.9 DD. Clear indication at Hilltop at 21:37 EDT.

I posted a link to a live camera in St. Joseph, featuring the tracks in my signature. The camera is currently zoomed in a bit more than usual or tilted up, as the tracks are not very visible. I'm guessing they will move it around again soon, maybe where we can see tracks better.
