Well, you (
LansingRailFan) posted that
L514 was "SB" at Andersonville at 2:00 PM! This would be incorrect! I caught
514 with
IC GP40R #3108 and
CN SD60 #5419 southbound from the Derby Road bridge, Birmingham, at 3:10 p.m. My how great it was to see this nice
"Black" Illinois Central® unit leading in the sun!!!!
Don’t question me ever Robert.
OK
LansingRailFan, well just trying to clarify for accuracy! Was the train parked in Pontiac for an hour? I suppose anything is possible!!!! I was only thinking you saw it just before
"3 p.m." as you posted at 2:59!!!! It was going fast through Birmingham! Nice train!!!! That is all.
Was through Andersonville at 2PM. Got held at MAL for Amtrak. Headed south after Amtrak cleared. There's the delay.

Thank You
GTWChris! When I arrived at Derby Road bridge, Birmingham, I noticed the southbound signal was red! I knew a train had just passed sometime after 2:30 p.m. Hey, are all the
Amtrak® "Wolverine" trains back? I know since the
"Coronavirus" it has been limited!!!!

An X396 was terminated at BC. Half of it will continue on M396 and the other half on M394. The power was needed for either A450 or L500.
The IC 1027 that’s been bouncing back and forth in MI this week has gone westward after it was on L501 last night.
