I saw the PTC test train go by West Pontiac at 3:20pm. CN 5463, CN 2233 and the ICG Caboose. They were a few minutes behind 371 going toward Holly.

L504, BNSF 8393 was working at Michigan Truss in Flint this 1:40 afternoon. 396, CN 8922 and CN 2674 went east by them, and met 397 at Lapeer.

GTW 6223 was sitting alongside Bristol Road.

A 280 went SB past MP 22.5 at 4:43 am.

Amtrak 355, the last train arriving at Pontiac, went NB past MP 22.5, passing 280 in my backyard, at 4:44 am, almost fours hours late.

Train 116 SB past MP 22.5 at 6:25 am.

Amtrak 351 has not left Pontiac and the tracker says it will leave around 7 am, an hour late. This must be due to Train 355's late arrival as they wye the train or engine in Pontiac of 355 and 353 at night and must have waited to do both at once as usual even with the late 355 or something. Poor Amtrak Wolverine service. It has just gone done the tubes this winter and such an unusually mild one with no snow. And with all new track most of the route through Michigan.

Update: Amtrak 351 rolled past MP 22.5 at 7:10 am so it is on its way to Chicago finally, a little over an hour late.
