I was mistaken earlier about no amtraks. P364 is in Battle Creek. They are running about 55 minutes behind schedule rn

Re: CN Train Location Updates - January 2024
Wednesday Amtrak Wolverine Report: 350 is still scheduled out of Chicago. 351 is "service disrupted (stay tuned) out of Pontiac. It did not leave yet. I don't think there is a trainset in Pontiac for it. 352 out of Chicago: canceled. 353 out of Pontiac, "service disruption" again, meaning canceled probably do to lack of a train. Didn't bother to check out the status of the rest of them. Poor Amtrak.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - January 2024
Amtrak 350, which is running today, is over two hour late so is terminating at Dearborn where 355 will originate this afternoon. "Equipment issues." I wonder how MDOT feels about the Wolverine's winter issues lately? I guess the equipment is theirs, isn't it?

Re: CN Train Location Updates - January 2024
Go figure. Amtrak 350 just went past MP 22.5 at 5:40 pm with a Charger on both ends. Amtrak Train Status still says it was to terminate at Dearborn but then the tracker shows it past Troy heading to Pontiac. Who knows? Maybe an extra trainset that was on 350?

507 is thumping past MP 22.5 at 6:33 pm.
Amtrak 355 is canceled now due to "equipment and crew issues." So that must have been what went past about an hour ago, bringing 350's train to Pontiac for tomorrow.

Good 'ole Amtrak keeps us guessing. Canceled Train 355 just went flying past MP 22.5, its horn blaring for Opdyke Road and to say it is back on track, at 6:50 pm. So much for Train Status updates on their website. Good for Amtrak. Maybe the worst is over for now.

This is probably a dead head, it’s not on the tracker.Manistique wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2024 6:58 pmGood 'ole Amtrak keeps us guessing.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - January 2024
The Amtrak Winter of 2024 Saga continues. 351 hasn't left Pontiac yet. Website says "service disruption" and to look for updates. Same with 353 for this morning. I didn't look to see if 352 or 354 ever ran yesterday, they were not supposed to. Maybe there is no trainset in Pontiac until 350 arrives like the "Battle Plan" of yesterday stated? Not that cold out this morning, 17 degrees in Pontiac right now.

Drove through Pontiac this morning and there was nothing at the station not even a spare engine around 9:30Manistique wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2024 6:49 amThe Amtrak Winter of 2024 Saga continues. 351 hasn't left Pontiac yet.
