"DAMN THAT PRIVATE CAR...Oh, it was OURS!" -Richard Anderson Date: 04/28/18 17:59 Re: Amtrak #350 in Michigan Author: MW4man 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.
