Passenger Trains > Amtrak #350 in Michigan

On to-days Amtrak #350 going to Pontiac, MI both the locomotives are back to back and the last car is the American View inspection car. Should go back west on #355 this evening.

The PV's didn't figure in the delay. It was strictly a CN dispatcher not caring about delaying a passenger train and held the train at Pontiac for a switch engine with four cars instead of holding the switcher for about 10 mins to let the passenger train go around the wye. Then when 352 got in the picture held 355 additional time to wait for 352 to come all the way up to Pontiac instead of using the cross overs on the line to pass the two trains south of Royal Oak.
