02:00 - EB approaching East Lansing, took M1 at Potterville, M2 at Mill, back to M1 at Cedar, and lined through Okemos. No visual, 3838 as leader?
Nothing is lined out of the area westbound, so no meet took place for them to diverge.
I and others have noticed a change in running times lately. I am wondering if, in relation to this, new policy suggested defaulting to M1.
Not that that makes since in practice, but it's all I can think of. Not keeping switches in use, not meeting anything, nothing occupying M2.
They will meet M399 around Vernon per dispatch. Also, thanks David for Q116's symbol!
