There's another E216, this one E21651 from western Canada, coming as well but it is still in Wisconsin as of this afternoon.

All three trains are empty autoracks for Michigan.

[David Lang]

Nice to hear about the 216 symbols and a 356 coming too.

Haven't seen/heard of 216 in a long time. Anybody else too?

That's an old symbol they are using again, well at least right now anyway - hoping it continues.

[Man o' War]

Mount Clemens sub is currently out of service between New Haven and Port Huron.

Why is this?

David, sorry for the delay in responding. MoW was working around MP40 - I know they had scheduled some welded rail replacement at Eveland curve north of Richmond - and that may have been the reason the dispatcher tagged it as OOS this morning. At any rate, it's open again.
