Have they actually re-lettered 2025 for the MMRR now?

Was it going to Peaker, or coming from Peaker? I thought it got dropped off there a few weeks ago on Q305.
Going to. 708 pushed them in from the north at 18:20. I'll have a video up soon.
The video in question, if anyone is interested: https://youtu.be/cJEM-8z7nVo :)

Great Video of D708 at South Lyon and Peaker. Loved the graphics. What were all those semi trucks doing lined up along the one road? Have not been to the Kensington and Silver Lake Road area since I retired in 1999. On the other hand, have not been to many other places in this county since then either.

Thank you! :D
What I do know is that Gordon Food Service has some sort of plant there, and they always seem to send out a truck every 30 seconds. Constantly blocking up Kensington Road. Not sure who those extra trucks are affiliated with though.

Kensington gfs is a total nightmare. When I used to go there I'd spend most of the day there trying to deliver. With the eld mandate you will see a lot more trucks parked along roads near places like that because they can't legally leave and many companies won't allow them to stay on the property.

Tulip Time Amtrak 375 West at Hartford right now. IDTX 4611 (leading) is defunct with wheel slip and traction motor errors along with an errant fire alarm. It is now serving as a very pretty cab car. Charger on the rear providing power. (Posting from aboard the train.)
