Roster update, the other 3 F40PH's (301-303) will be released starting this evening in new paint schemes. There will be a special press release next Saturday inside of the Motown Rail shops in Detroit. Units will filter onto the system early this week, then all be in Detroit for a 10:00am press release and community social hour at our shops.

MQT will be running a propane-tank refueling train east of Plymouth tomorrow, so while the DS will try their best to keep pax trains running, there is no guarantee trains will operate 100% on-time.

For Detroit's 313th birthday, all fares for adults were $3.13 today regardless of distance, and kids fare was free.
