There’s whispers all over Durand about it. The 8952 is definitely on the train. Haven’t heard anything about the Mt. Clemens sub being closed.

This is all foam/sweat pants rumor. Mt. Clemens sub was never closed and the train was still at Brantford at 5:15 PM. Lack of crews in PH means it might be staged for a while.

Also watch the Durand cam - East. Supposedly someone pulled a gun about 10 min ago at the carnival and everyone bolted. Many ran across the tracks to the depot.

Edit: Ope they got the guy and people are back in line for elephant ears
