Big derailment east of Elkhart. Rumor is Capital Limited and Lake Shore are going to run through Michigan.
The dispatcher is cool.

Anyone know how many coal cars are on the ground at Elkhart? I wonder how long it's going to take to fix and how many reroutes we are going to get.

NPCU leader on Amtrak

Unread post by GP30M4216 »

Word has it they're adding NPCU 90222 at West Detroit Jct. to lead the train west on the Michigan Line (must have an ITCS equipped leader)....this will probably be the first time an NPCU will lead a long distance train over the road..... GO SEE IT!

I have been told by someone who spoke with Amtrak, that the train is still scheduled to stop in Elkhart. I'm wondering now if they are re-routing via the Grand Elk to Elkhart?
