Amtrak Train Locations/Heads Up - 2022
Anyone out on the chicagoline, heads up: ALC’s 300 and 301 are currently on 29 heading west. I’ve heard rumors that they may make a return to Michigan

12:06 CT: he’s got the GP60s he always does, sandwiching two six-axles. He has an empty grain train. East over the South Shore at 10th St in Michigan City at this time, stabbing South Shore train 107.

Re: Amtrak Train Locations/Heads Up - 2022
352 was 2 hours, 41 minutes late into Pontiac, but I did see the venture car in Royal Oak.

Hey @Buster Manning, are the venture cars actually being used or are they being tested if you’re allowed to say?

Re: Amtrak Train Locations/Heads Up - 2022
There was an unusual meet this morning near Town Line; a very late 354 waited for 351 to come off the connection. I thought 351 turned from 354's equipment, so maybe he turned from 352?

Nope, two sets overnight at Pontiac and one in Chicago. 350 becomes 355, 352 becomes 351, and 354 becomes 353. I wanna say all of the trainsets actually are on 24-hour turns simply running back and forth as the above pairing.

Re: Amtrak Train Locations/Heads Up - 2022
I have no idea what they are being tested on.....afaik, the only people that ride in them is a technician of some sort for the car builder and maybe a curious Amtrak employee or two
All I know is that those cars feel heavier than Amtrak's cars and that dragging that thing around on the rear of our trains is like dragging a boat anchor....beginning to see why Brightline uses two motors on their consists

Re: Amtrak Train Locations/Heads Up - 2022
Looks like Chicago is in meltdown mode tonight. As of 10:17 CT:
#364 left Chicago 5h17m late, due to "engine issues" according to Amtrak's Twitter.
#354 has yet to depart Chicago, he should have left 4.5 hours ago, no updates on him at all.
#50, the Cardinal is also massively delayed by over 4 hours due to engine problems as well. Not sure what's up with #59, the City of New Orleans, but he's still at Chicago as well and should have departed well over an hour ago.
