Passenger Trains > Morning Bluewater Amtrak in Durand, MI

Last Friday seemed to be a good day to get down to Durand to
watch the morning Bluewater depart for Chicago... The weather
report made on Thursday for Friday was for fair skies... Of
course that Nor'easter scattered clouds a bit further west, and
we got socked in with mists and low hanging clouds. The train,
however, was right on schedule. If you watch closely towards
the end of the clip, you'll see some deer close to the track.
The scatter when the horn is tooted.

Hmm, scatter? Thanks for the vid.

Scattered? They seem rather annoyed much like most drivers are when the gates go down in front of them at a level crossing. :)

Very nice video, thanks for posting.

nice vid ... whenever i see a facing point switch on a curve i cringe ... 2 locos seems like such a waste of motive power even if needed for speed purposes
