WLUC TV in Marquette is reporting the M-28 is closed at Soo Line Road near Dafter, MI (just south of Sault Ste. Marie) owing to a “railroad malfunction”.

MDOT reports that M-28 is closed due to a “disabled railroad crossing”. ( I have no idea what that means )

M395 tonight has CN.BCOL.BCOL.CN 4720 as power tonight. Thru Durand around dinner time.

A491 was OD at 5:00 AM in Port Huron. Has CN 3282 as leader.

It’s interesting how these 491/492 have, since the beginning of the year been running about 12 hours ahead of 2020 schedule. Kinda sucks tho because they use the same power at least for a week before it gets swapped out.
