Passenger Trains > Be on the lookout for Chargers in MIDate: 06/12/19 06:53 Be on the lookout for Chargers in MI Author: twropr A contact in MI told me that Chargers are supposed to begin running on Wolverine trains today from Chicago and on the Blue Water this Friday.
Please let us know if you see any. Thanks! Andy Jacksonville, FL Date: 06/12/19 08:33 Re: Be on the lookout for Chargers in MI Author: PC1974 I sure hope that #350 is still running a P42 today to explain why it's an hour late at Niles still loosing time!

These have been in storage so many years they probably have rusted up (down?). Date: 06/12/19 11:49 Re: Be on the lookout for Chargers in MI Author: inCHI The weird thing is that 350 did go 110mph but still lost time on the 110mph segments.
Date: 06/12/19 12:44 Re: Be on the lookout for Chargers in MI Author: PC1974 An hour late into PNT.. And never got trackspeed until after New Buffalo.. And then areas it slowed back down to 79 mph after that.. Your MIDOT tax dollars at work!
