I saw pictures of it. It only ran in western michigan where amtrak owns the track

Same trainset was on the michigan services 354 and 353. Nice catch!

Hiya Nick,

Wow -- a K5LA lover's dream!! Man, I love this corridor in Lockport with its multiple crossings!! Love to hear that pounding, throbbing sound of that P32 also, amidst the horn. Truly GREAT audio!!

There does seem to be something odd about that crossing by the station.  Not only did the gates seem to activate early, they also stayed down even after the ones at that next crossing south of the station had gone up Hmm...

Superb job!!

Dave

Told u they might use it on 307 lol :P

[NicTrain35]

Yep. Thanks for your help! :) I'll be capturing 302 tomorrow with the consist reversed.

why'd the gates go down, back up, and down again? did the train stop or something?

[NicTrain35]

I believe they went down early and since the gates didn't detect the train (still pretty far away), they went back up and then down again. Interesting situation.
