Regarding the FRA train in Ensel, those crews get three weeks on, one week off so they are on vacation. In that one week off timespan, the equipment is recalibrated. That’s why it’s split apart in Ensel.

Not sure if it was weather related in the Chicago area, had heard on the scanner Hi-Railers on the Barr sub making reports for flash floods.

The Pere Marquette left Chicago on time and was over an hour late at St. Joe. The Capitol Limited also left Chicago and was 50 minutes late at South Bend. So whatever it was, it delayed multiple trains.

D708 w 8400/4016 WB at Kalamazoo Street in Lansing. Judging by the consist, there’s a long cut for ADM/Anderson’s in Webberville and some cars for GLC.
You mean eastbound?
