Amtrak Rail Train

Unread post by Super Chief »

P32 518 is on the point of a 100 car rail train at Glenwood siding this morning. Crews have been replacing rail during the night to keep the line open days for the regular traffic. At least their keeping the maintenance up on the line. Radio chatter has them clearing the line by 9:00am each morning.

Between Dowagiac and Decatur. Glenwood Inn was a hell of a restaurant just up from the tracks.

The train yesterday afternoon had 2 P32s back to back, some Amtrak ballast cars for buffers and the rail train. Rail was laid on the ground west of Glenwood and east to Decatur. Nobody around to ask your question about Kazoo.
