Any idea as to when L301 will be running?Tom49801 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 11, 2023 5:22 amApparently the curfew for the Grand Rapids sub-div between Gross mp CG63.1 & Benton Harbor didn't go into effect today that was to move the freights & coal trains to the evening hours, or they planned to get today's M327 out early before it does go into effect.

If I remember correctly when there’s a curfew on the line due to track maintenance L301 would usually run after Amtrak clears up.
