The Pere Marquette is a 3-car all-Horizon consist today. While in prior years they have usually run with Horizons in the summer (usually 4) and Superliners in the winter, this year has been almost exclusively Superliners year-round. NPCU and SC44 for power, as usual.

350 clear 30E with an FRA inspection car on the rear of the consist.

Re: Amtrak Updates Sept. 2018
It went back that night on 355. When the brass or inspection stuff comes it normally goes 350-355 so it's in Chicago same day. It was an inspection car.NS3322 wrote:What train will it come back on?KenB wrote:Amtrak # 350 on time at Dearborn, MI. Private Pullman car on rear, NX-Trak.

Amtrak 350 today had Genesis #30 with a classic alternating set of Amfleet, Horizon, Amfleet, Horizon (4 coaches) and a Northeast Corridor Amcafe. No rear unit!
Re: Amtrak Updates Sept. 2018
Wolverine trains haven't had rear units for over a year now. Something to do wit lacking ITCS units in the fleet, fuel savings and or changes in motive power philosophy. As for "classic" look.. I would say interesting lolGP30M4216 wrote:Amtrak 350 today had Genesis #30 with a classic alternating set of Amfleet, Horizon, Amfleet, Horizon (4 coaches) and a Northeast Corridor Amcafe.
