In battle creek yard at 0700. 4903 working in the yard shuffling cars.

Train 515 with 5456 again today is SB at 9:35 am passing MP 22.5 slowly on Main 1 as they are working on Main 2 out back again this morning.

Extra Amtrak just went SB past MP 22.5 at 1:05 pm with a Charger leading one Metroliner and four long distance cars including a baggage and a sleeper. Amtrak board said this came in on 354 last night but was running extra today.

Shorter eb by 205 at 1518. 2 cn. 1 ge and one emd. Decent cut of empty beam cars towards the head end and a notable amount of gons with structural beam.

Train 371 is crawling NB past MP 22.5 through the slow order out back that is blocking Main 2. Power is CN 2319 and 2257.

Amtrak 350 is running over an hour late again today and should be right behind 371, maybe on its block again.

Amtrak 350 passing MP 22.5 at 4:11 pm, 1 hour 40 minutes late. The same two Chargers on each end.

Train 515 is NB passing MP 22.5 at 4:34 pm on its way back to Pontiac.

391 with just the GECX 2036 by Trowbridge at 01:45.

Train 515 with 5456 again, running backwards, was SB past MP 22.5 through the work zone at 9:35 am.

My dad saw some shiny CN passenger cars on a train this morning on his way to work. He lives about a mile away from the Linden Rd overpass on the Flint Sub. Unfortunately he hasn’t told me which way they were headed but interesting none the less.

Train 371 with UP 5552 and 4198 and BNSF 7255 and 9283 is passing MP 22.5 at 2:52 pm very slowly. Amtrak 350 is about 2 hours behind schedule again (those darn Chargers!).

Twenty minutes later 371 finally cleared MP 22.5. Hate to see what traffic is like on Opdyke right now or in Pontiac.

Train 515 NB returning to Pontiac went by 22.5 at 3:55 pm with a long train of mostly tanks and empty centerbeams.

Then passing 515 (I guess Main 2 is clear of workers now) out back was the extra Amtrak train with all the long-distance sleeper and baggage cars again, this time with a GE on the lead and a Charger on the rear. Where is that coming from? Never saw it head into Pontiac these last two days. Leaving Pontiac much later today. No 350 yet.

On the Amtrak board GTW6401 reports that this Amtrak extra is a PTC test train and has the entire consist listed out.

Amtrak 350 with the two same Chargers passed MP 22.5 at 4:14 pm.
