Rare move in Ann Arbor today
Today, AMTK 350 had 5 extra passenger cars tacked on to the tail end to be set off in the old interchange in Ann Arbor. NS sent a B90 following behind to do the switching. There were so many cars in this cut that it required the locomotives to cross Lakeshore drive on the siding track, which has not been done in many years. While this move is done probably 3-4 times a year, I have never seen any documentation of it. The cars that were dropped off belonged to Mid America Rail Leasing. Pretty cool to say the least. ill have pics later lol

nice! wish i had know about it. How long do they generally stay? and who can tell how they will take the cars out of the AA "yard" to be put on an amtrak.

The whole operation took about an hour. All you can do is listen on the scanner lol, I think the symbol they usually use is B90
