Sarnia tunnel
I went there yesterday for like 10 minutes and saw one just wondering how many go through a day and when does amtrak stop.
Love all class 1 railroads in USA and Canada, and short lines in michigan

Re: Sarnia tunnel
Amtrak does not operate through the tunnel. They publish a schedule which you should have piced up at the Pt. Huron depot. It lists all of their trains.

Re: Sarnia tunnel
My guess is around 12-16 a day right now. It may have been 20ish when the economy was better and CN was handling more vehicles.
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...

Re: Sarnia tunnel
There's gotta be more than 12-16 per day. 8 trains per day go through the tunnel just from the Mt. Clemens sub - I would say a good 20-25 for sure.

Re: Sarnia tunnel
Dave's right, I was thinking west bounds and forgot their counterparts that go eastbound through the tunnel

Re: Sarnia tunnel
Well, Don..your original estimate may be more correct..8 to/from MtC, then 148/149, 392/393, 394/395, 396/397, 398/399, and finally the 503(?..cant recall the number) the runs between Tunnel Yard and Sarnia Yard..dunno how many, if any, autorack trains run anymore (271/272 IIRC)..so 18-20 a day...was closer to 30-35 not that long ago..

Re: Sarnia tunnel
How many trips does 503 make through the tunnel each day? IIRC, I saw it one day a couple years back and it was making it's 3rd or 4th trip of the day through the tunnel...

Re: Sarnia tunnel
It depends on what is needed to be moved between the 2 yards I recall seeing several trips for the 503 many times..
Steve..which Auto trains are back? Need to brush up on Port Huron myself..will be round there alot this winter...

Re: Sarnia tunnel
Add 301/302 which is a train they re-routed last summer as well that is running this way instead of through Northern Ontario to and from the west.
