2. Unfortunately there is no live camera, BUT, I will try to get a livestream going from my youtube channel, No promises however.
3. It runs Owosso-Carland-Ashley.
Get better Jim,

It's the almost yearly Polar express runs. Goes Owosso to Ashley and back twice each Saturday and Sunday for the next few weeks.

Re: 1225 run
The F40 was on the train this past weekend, but they were also using the generator car (ex troop sleeper), so HEP issues seem likely
