350 in/out of Royal Oak at 2:50, a ton of close calls in town and a cool hornshow from the engineer.

Last night 354 left Chicago 3.5 hours late and arrived at Pontiac around 4:30 am.

This morning a SB Amtrak just crawled by MP 22.5 at 6:01 am. I figured it was 351 running a bit late again out of Pontiac but the Train Status showed 351 already in and out of Troy, the first station stop, on time? So either the Train Status is lying or there was a deadhead move following 351 out of Pontiac this morning.

train status was not correct....that was 351 ....they had ptc issues after getting by MAL Jct.....had to stop and re-initialize and since they were btw signals, had to run restricted speed til the 20 signal

Thanks, Buster. Is the slow order removed behind my house now? It seems Amtrak is running much faster back there these last few days.

indeed it is.....I gotta look fast to see if you are out on the patio now

What are you guys doing in terms of speed now?

NS B05 ran today with NS 7150/NS 4477/BNSF 41#2/NS 7149. They brought a 100-car grain empty for Cargill - Decatur, MI this afternoon from Burns Harbor, IN
