Note: Q327 is only identifying as "327" on the radio. Hoping the St Joseph Bridge Tender will say his full train i.d. so that we'll know if this is "Q327" or the new designation "M327".

Amtrak P371-01 @ 08:17 westward reported by the DD mp CG91.9 with 16 axles & 309 feet long. IDTX #4629 & 3 SuperLiners.

The St Joseph Bridge Tender had i.d'd Q327 as being a Q train & the crew didn't correct him. So, it appears the Q trains have not been changed to being known as "M" trains.
