Q151 has 4040 and 4031 leading today and is going around the wye in Fostoria heading to North Baltimore right now (3:11pm). Seems like CSX is using the two pairs of engines for Q150 and Q151.

Thanks for pointing that out, I seem to have messed up on the lead units numbers. I'm not sure what it is now though as I didn't get a screenshot of the Q151. Hopefully I got the trailing one right.

Waiting on Amtak, in Hudsonville. #370. Someone has called "... tboned...all over the front of me.". Any idea what or who that was?

Been chasing him since Chesterton, IN. Amtrak says he is late, 11:50pm. Cleared Bangor 10:25, Grand Junction 10:35. DD 376ft.

Never been to Chesterton, IN before. Three Class 1 lines converge there, although CSX does not appear to cross over the other lines. I believe the lines are NS/NSX (saw a couple), CSX, plus Amtrak that runs on CSX right of way, and CN. Did not see any CN trains or Amtrak on CN. You like signal blocks, there are plenty. If I need a very active train-day, that would be a place I would go again.

NS, CP (trackage rights on NS), CSX, and Amtrak are the ones who go by Chesterton on a daily basis. As far as I know, there are no true CN trains that go through Chesterton. I do know CN power is common on NS trains though. They probably are just left on the trains when CN interchanges them with NS in Chicago.

One CN each way through Porter down the porter branch to home rails...

Cool! Porter sure is packed full of variety.
