Meeting Amtrak in a Jiffy
NS B2T is rolling down the siding at Chelsea and will meet Amtrak 353 at the east end. I've long wanted a freight train by here but for years there was nothing reliable in daylight. That recently changed with this job going on duty in Jackson at 0900 to go east to Detroit. How quickly they get themselves together and moving seems to determine whether they meet Amtrak 353 at Jackson or Chelsea but on this day they were rolling down the siding at Chelsea just before 10:30 for the meet with Amtrak 353 already out of Ann Arbor. There's a wider view with a classic depot and other interesting buildings that I zoomed out for but here's the tele shot with the great advertising logos. Chelsea, MI 4/23/2022
