I was listening in as 391 was getting ready to depart the yard at Pontiac tonight and when it was mentioned that they would be working at Durand, the crew asked it the wye was back in place. The dispatcher did not know anything. They did not say which wye, however I do know a coal train rounded the Chicago wye a bit over an hour ago as I watched on ATCS.


Anyone know anything?

Rail was being changed out on the Pt. Huron wye; should be back in service.

Did this affect HESR or any other trains while it was out of service?

I think it might be the Port Huron wye. Because while watching the ATCS yesterday with GTW4633, the dispatcher had HESR back across the diamond then go back north rather than use the wye like they normally do.

Thanks CRJ. I was wondering what CMGN would do if it was the Port Huron wye. Guess they don't have any other choice but to go across the diamond like you said.

KC8BRD? K6KMJ here.
