Two of those "Don't Blink, you'll miss them" moments in Michigan
Author: Ron

Two of those "Don't Blink, you'll miss them"  moments in West Michigan.

Amtrak #364 AMTK 127 AMTK 32, Tuesday, September 20, 2016, at about 7:00 PM.
Amtrak #358 AMTK 33, Tuesday, September 20, 2016, at about 7:40 PM.

It's funny how the sky and lighting can change so much in 40 minutes. In the second part, I do not know where all of that smoke was coming from. We went looking but there aren't any houses in the immediate area. And there was almost no wind either. I guess it drifted in from about a mile away.

Any ideas about how fast these two were travelling?

Very nice, Ron!

I did some quick timing on these videos and get anywhere between about 95 and 115 MPH, which seems reasonable.
