Sweet.

Already saw it in Chicago tonight going by Lumber Street riding 354 home. Engine #157, but It was buried in the yard so no photos.

Amtrak.com reports that the train left Chicago at 7:07am, and, as noted, is due into Dearborn at 12:30pm. Heading down to Albion to see it pass.

EDIT: If you call "Julie" at 1-800-USA-RAIL, the train status feature is also registering the train. Say "Dearborn" for the station name and then "Get details." Hopefully it will update as it passes staffed stations (Niles, Kalamazoo, Battle Creek, Jackson, Ann Arbor) along the way. Should be a crew change at Battle Creek too.
And again, for both the phone and internet status check, the train number is 932.

It will not be in Deerborn at 12:30pm seeing it just went through lawton at 11:30am unless it can make it in one hour from Lawton NOT, lol. Note it has a lead unit #33.

They must have needed to thrown an ITCS leader on it.

Saw him at Dowagiac, busy day today. Saw 5 trains in about 2 hours (350, 351, 365, the local and the Disney train) He held the main at the east end of the siding at Dowagiac for 365. Shot him 3 times, near downtown, stopped in front of the old Sundstrand plant (near the east end of the siding) and the first crossing outside of town. I think the last pics at that crossing were taken at 11:15.

Well, since apparently I was the only person east of Kalamazoo who waited long enough...
Here it is passing the rare bracket signals at CP-Albion on the NS Michigan Line:




Going to Greenfield sometime over the weekend to tour it. I can hardly wait!!
