EDIT: bridge was moving to the open position. Signal is still set at Benton Harbor.
If nothing else is coming, the RN often lines up Amtrak hours in advance.

So where did that Potash train posing as a G010 come from anyway? Where is it going? Was it even really a Potash train. MOCX reporting marks on many of the cars.

Must be for P370, who is currently going throught Stevensville at 20:16. AMTK 37 in the lead and 20 axles, 364 feet. 37 was leading 371 also so they must have flipped it.

Train just called a clear signal at Woodbury. Missed the symbol. Will keep listening to see if I can get it.

edit: No luck. Heard them call at least 5 signals and barely understood a word he said. Speaking with mouth too far away from the mike. I think they are east bound (but not even real sure about that) based on the order I think I heard the signals called. Guessing Q334 22 though just based on what time it is.

That S326 that arrived at Wyoming earlier had what appeared to be a potash train on the headend. 64 cars if I heard right. Webberville bound?
cnw8835 mentioned yesterday that S326 from Chicago brought the potash train to GR.

GRHC - you know every night I can imagine he is in front of his computer screen sitting in his underwear swearing profusely and drinking Blatz beer combing the RailRoadFan website for grammatical errors.
