Keep your eyes out on P371 tomorrow, I wouldn't be surprised if they couple last night's 370 to this train to drag it to Chicago in the morning...

What’s the likelihood of a MQT crew taking this north on a Sunday? Seems like every other year they run one of these. I assume it’s going to the elevator at Newaygo?

P370 detrained in GR. P371 is just north of Franklin waiting for them to spin the set, connect and park at the station.
Consist for tomorrow will be 56 lead, 5 supers, and 4625.
This is my life. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
If this is a problem get used to it.

Effective today:
D708 = L305
D707 = L304
D706 = L303
D705 = L302
D700 = L301
Going from odd to even and vice versa. That makes my brain hurt.

P371 should be around Vine.
You can see part of the plow is gone on IDTX 4625 from Friday’s crash.
