Passenger Trains > Wolverine 350/353 suspended July 31st-Oct. 3rdDate: 05/25/23 18:09 Wolverine 350/353 suspended July 31st-Oct. 3rd Author: inCHI Just saw an alert saying that "due to infrastructure improvements by Amtrak and MDOT" 350/353 are suspended Monday-Thursday from July 31st - Oct. 3rd. Anyone know more info? Seems a bit wild to not be able to work around them for months. Not sure what stretch this is, but on most of it, it would be only 6-8 Amtrak trains a day.

Is it major track upgrades to increase speed on curves? That could make sense. I haven't yet been able to find an explanation of the work on MDOT's or Amtrak's site.

I was hopeful this was to be the year that the entire line from CP-482 to CP-Townline (excepting CN joint trackage between CP-Gord and CP-Baron in Battle Creek) would finally be at the 110mph standard. Alas, it looks like the final segment from CP-75 (ex CP-Jackson) to Townline will have to wait until next year or longer.
