10:55 CT Update: It may have been that M326 and M327 met at Michigan City. M327 just went by Ogden Dunes on the NS Chicago Line.

Also lol at my use of Q-symbols...that's gonna be a hard habit to break.

I had a hunch a train train was going to run today. I’m curious on Marquette Rail bringing back the 2nd set of 90 grain cars
