Was that you at over at MAL?? I was at the green warehouse that butts up against the Amtrak house track and saw a railfan over on the other side. I relocated over to Avon Donuts for my shot of it.

Quite the good sounding new cast P5 horn on 5450, I made sure I got some decent audio of it.

They were over an hour late when I checked their location at 10 AM, could've sworn I heard them getting into Pontiac at 6:15(ish).
