What is MAS on that line? I live south of St. Joe and it seams like 371 comes through about 55mph most days. I'm trying to time the visit of P001.

They were at 65mph between Hudsonville and Zeeland. You most likely won't be able to time it by any maximum speed estimation...they constantly fluctuate how fast they are going.

I paced the train a bit west of Hudsonville along Chicago Drive and noticed one of the cars has a nice bar with a lot of wine racks, along with a large CSX logo over the bar. Looked like a very classy interior. I'd love to know more about this particular car.

I heard one of the cars is owned personally by Boychuk. Also per observation in the field from Plymouth, it seems as tho everyone got off in Plymouth before the train departed.

We could see one lone person sitting in the dome when it passed through Lake O. He appeared to be middle aged and sitting at a table focused on a laptop computer, or possibly a book.LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Sat Oct 08, 2022 1:53 pm

Onboard staff remained on the train to Chicago
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.
