38J has a restricting signal at BO Tower on the wye at 12:55AM.
They will be setting off their cars (didn't say how many? ) on #1 Yard Track, and will also be leaving GP40-2 #3062 (I believe it's still a CR painted one) at Kalamazoo. They will pick up the NS 5129 and take it to Jackson for some kind of repair.
Hopefully they hold 38J at Jackson till this afternoon...

There cutting in new signals on the Chicago Line between CP-509 and CP-513 all this week. Alot of things are being delayed by this they should be done with this work by the end of this week.. A side note alot of trains have been detoured on the Porter Branch to releave the conguestion on the line.

GO WHITE SOX!!!!!!!!!
BO Tower was suddenly a busy place late this afternoon. But firstly, I spied B-1-G's North Yard consist at Botsford around 12noon at the west end of Botsford Yard before going toward BO then north:
CR3067
1 NS 50' boxcar
6 Thiele tankcars
CR3066
Anyhow, B-0-K was at the west end of the yard ready to go at 5:30 and got the light to head west around the wye at BO a few minutes later. They were at BO Tower at 5:45PM:
NS 5268
2 GTRA 50' boxcars
1 FBOX 50' hi-cube
Meanwhile, B-1-G had completed their switching work at North Yard and was waiting north of BO Tower on the NYC Branch for B-0-K to clear the switch at BO. They got their red-over-yellow to come south after B-0-K was over Kalamazoo Avenue, at 5:50PM.
In the past, 350 would terminate at Det and then leave there on time as 355 with the psgrs getting bused outta Det to ROY and BMM and PNT and 355's psgrs bussing to Der. to meet the train; this probably is what happened today as they were late enough that we (353) met them at CP Levitt and we were only about 10-15 mins late at that point. 352 got into BTL an hour late account of the signal and trackwork going on down on the Chi line, I know 364 got held up a little also....
