A railroad strike this weekend just became a bit more likely: https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/pol ... -deadline/
With all but one of the Class Is serving Michigan affected, there certainly will be effects if this strike indeed does happen. Amtrak has already canceled long-distance routes in advance, and I'm sure the Michigan services will also have major impacts, to the point of full suspension.

Re: Railroad Strike
MDOT has pretty much stated (without actually saying it) that the Michigan services will be suspended if the strike happens. #354 will likey not run tomorrow, as Amtrak's goal is to not have any trains in transit when midnight rolls around.
