Okay that makes no sense to me. #35 was only unit up in Pontiac today for 353, and there was no service disruption.

I heard something about light. When they said clear to Vinewood I thought it was light or something special from a shoutbox post earlier of Amtrak 35 in Pontiac. Then I heard 353 on the scanner at 1pm. I thought they said 350 because 353 runs around 11am. I heard them stop in Birmingham still thinking its 350. Then I hear Royal Oak wondering why 353 was running that late and thought the amtrak 35 had something to do with a 2 hour delay. I wonder why 353 went through that late

[GTWChris]

I heard 353 come through on time?

Also CN C767 is coming into Pontiac same power as yesterday's 766.

I heard 353 in Birmingham then Royal Oak then Moterm about 1pm. Maybe they were saying 350 and they had to double back to Royal Oak or something. Looked at amtrak train status and it said 353 came through on time too.

[GTWChris]

[TwisterJay29]

Why is 350 only going to Detroit?

[GTWChris]

Why is 350 only going to Detroit?

That is so 355 is on time, if they went all the way to Pontiac they would be late leaving.
