Maybe (If not that en-routes) they will move looping on Second Kalamazoo from Elkhart through northbound Kalamazoo to Grand Rapids then back to Kalamazoo then go eastbound on Michigan Lines to Jackson then Second Lansing then back Jackson goes Detroit Lines, I guess so.

Thanks for the notice.. Mr Hall and Scooter were going to go from Jackson down to Stryker or so... they got word in time at least, and are enroute to Toledo instead to watch them come in.

That is by far my favorite loco right now. I'd LOVE to see that come through Michigan on the CSX line.
