Overnight update: @ 01:14 two unidentified engines running lite heading west passed through Zeeland Michigan.
This was a very late P37024 you heard coming east.
You sure that wasn't the executive train making another foray into the mitten state?

Maybe an Amtrak employee on here can correct me, but did the Chargers really not play nicely with the NPCUs, or did Amtrak just not want to spend the money to recertify them periodically under the FRA cabcar inspection guidelines? I want to say I've seen quite a few posts from various groups showin...

Re: Different take on Streaming scanner

Well looks like last couple of days the control points at both ends of fox have been cut over to Sat. Probably were upgraded with PTC (cuz it's gonna save us all) at the same time. Right now we can still monitor both ends of elmdale and both ends of lake odessa.

D905 is what they are using on the radio. Looks like they're trying to find a good spot to tie down. None of the roads seem plowed out there based on radio traffic. They came out of GR this AM.

Re: Different take on Streaming scanner

Built new radio trays on rack mounted roll out shelves. These the new audio whips and switching to a virtual machine will bring mantainence improvements and back end simplification to the streams. Ok i'd have photos of them here but the site is being difficult.

Y106 running around itself at Elmdale. Looks like Q329 is west of Lansing, but not out of the TWC territory yet. Maintainer has between the signals on the main at Fox.
