Amtrak through Dexter -353

Unread post by chapmaja »

Interesting 353 just came through Dexter a minute ago.

3 locomotives, 2 locos on the front, 5 cars (normal length) and 1 Loco on the rear. All three locomotives facing west on a westbound train.

Was one a Cali locomotive? They were doing some testing with CN (or was it CP) here in Michigan recently,could be those locomotives returning "home".

Looking at the video on my phone, it looks as if all three are 4600 series locomotives. They fly by the Dexter Library so fast i it hard to see the small numbers they carry, but it appears to be units 46X5, 4607, 4620? I can't be sure of the numbers when looking on my phone. They are all letter Amtrak Midwest though, I am sure of that.

When 353 went past my house just south of Pontiac yesterday I am pretty sure it only had one locomotive on it. It was 50 minutes late leaving Pontiac up the tracks. So something transpired between here and Dexter.
