Amtrak Updates 11/28-12/11
Was wondering if anyone could post consists for Amtrak for the next few weeks, as winter approaches I always like to shoot them in the snow, but more so, I would like to get more shots of the NPCUs which don't seem to be as frequent as of late. Any NPCU updates would be appreciated, especially from the West side of the state.. anything on 354 or 352 that might lead in the morning on 351 or 353. Thanks!

I haven't seen it in a couple of days, but trains 370/371, the Pere Marquette, (Chicago,IL-Grand Rapids, MI) have been using a consist of AMTK 832, varying number of Superliners, and Cabbage 90413. Superliners have been used on the Pere Marquette regularly for over a year now.

Re: Amtrak Updates 11/28-12/11
Amtrak 354 through Dearborn, MI at 1:34am, 1 hour and 39 minutes late. 37 leading the way with a frightful sounding K5LA and no rear unit. Looks like 353 will have no rear unit. 2 Amfleets.. one might have been a Cafe?

This may change, but as of 11am, 352(05) shows the 90413 as the leader. I'd imagine they'd wye it if that's the case.
