Re: Amtrak Train Locations/Heads Up - 2022
Something's up with Amtrak 355. There was the locomotive on the storage track pointing south at 5:20 pm but no power on the train which was still in its storage area south of the depot. With a 5:30 departure minutes away.
And just now at 6:30 pm I saw a lite Charger locomotive drifting northbound past my house at MP 22.5 pointing south.
On the radio just now "Amtrak 350" was calling Amtrak Mechanical saying they "will be there shortly."

09:07 CT: Amtrak #49’s nearly on-time run this morning just got nuked by the DD at 490, which reported “Detector Not Working”. Train is stopped to check things out, and they will also be holding up a hot NS Intermodal who was following them on the other track.

09:42 CT: Amtrak 351 slow clear at CP 482 in Chesterton, Indiana. IDTX 4618 leading, and they have a Venture car riding around on the rear. That thing looks sweet, can’t wait for the full matching trainsets. It’s a nice paint scheme too hope the Chargers are repainted to match.

Re: Amtrak Train Locations/Heads Up - 2022
Amtrak 350 is just arriving Pontiac at the time it should be leaving as 355, three hours late. It has a locomotive on the rear so the turnaround should be quick but that locomotive is pretty covered in snow and ice from trailing. It was shown late arriving in Detroit (4 pm) but then lost another hour and a half on the Holly Sub for some reason.

7:06pm - Amtrak 352 clear Ann Arbor Station. IDTX 4618 with a venture car on the rear.
Re: Amtrak Train Locations/Heads Up - 2022
355 arriving ARB 8:05p about 1 hour late

Ha, when they went by me just outside Michigan City, I didn't even notice the rear unit in all of the blowing snow. I can just see it now that I know it's in there:Manistique wrote: ↑Sun Jan 23, 2022 5:32 pmAmtrak 350 is just arriving Pontiac at the time it should be leaving as 355, three hours late.

FWIW, asm.transitdocs shows that there were lengthy delays at both Jackson and Royal Oak.

Winter Weather Advisory for blowing snow in effect for the next minute
Re: Amtrak Train Locations/Heads Up - 2022
351 took 89 min to make Kalamazoo- CP 482 (normally 65 min). Heard AML Train Director tell him that he had a switch failure at CP 192, which caused him to move the meet with 350 from there to CP 178.

Re: Amtrak Train Locations/Heads Up - 2022
More like lack of locomotives capable of pulling a train.
I just checked the Amtrak Service Alerts and it's a sad state of affairs.

Didn't see 351 go by this morning so I presume canceled today too.David Collins wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 8:01 pm8:01 AM: Per friend, Amtrak 351 and 352 are cancelled due to a locomotive shortage in Chicago.

Amtrak 353 is pretty much on time leaving Pontiac this morning. Had one of those new coaches on the headend.

350 was caught up waiting for CN 251s air issue today. They stopped about two car lengths shy of Clay Avenue.
The passenger train waited at the depot.

Re: Amtrak Train Locations/Heads Up - 2022
Another SB Amtrak just went by Bloomfield Hills. Amtrak Train Status says it is 355. So I am confused? Was there an earlier SB train at 6:30 pm like I reported or am I imagining things?
