I spent a couple of days in the Michigan City-Dunes area last week and shot quite a few South Shore trains. Both Thursday & Friday morning I heard or saw an eastbound movement that wasn't on the schedule or the tracker. This was a little after the westbound fleet and seemed to be a train of bilevels.
Is this a regular movement? And where does it originate? I assume they can run with a smaller crew if they don't carry passengers and there isn't enough traffic to be worth the expense.
