This is cool. I’m watching Amtrak turn an engine on the wye at the north end of Pontiac Yard. I’m not close enough to read its number but I’m still enjoying the show. Maybe Buster is engineering the move .
Nope.....took my relief day after working the work train the past three days....where was everybody?? Didn't see anybody out following us as we went about doing work train stuff....
They are all back in school lol!

That is where it has been for over a week. Won't be doing anything on a Sunday. They have been running work trains during the week for the last few weeks on and off.

Per AmtrakAlerts on Twitter, both 364 and 354 are late due to "Mechanical Issues"

A Challenger??? When did we get those??....or is that the new nickname for the Charger, 'cause it's a challenge to keep them running??;-)

The only engines that can run on the wolverine trains are 50-69, 26-38, 126 127 and the 4600 series chargers. Unless ITCS got turned off, I dunno. Maybe Buster knows something that we don't :?

I don't believe they would have been dropping ballast at 5pm considering they were by CP28 in Ypsilanti at 5:24pm. At the speed they run this thing, 20 mins is about what it would take to go dexter to Ypsi without stopping.

Amtrak 354 arrived at Pontiac around 5 am this morning, four hours late.

Amtrak 351 hasn't left Pontiac yet, I presume because of 354's late arrival? It is an hour an a half late leaving and counting.
