The ITCS has been down on the MI line for a while now, which opens up the ability for other locomotives to run on the line. For some strange reason Amtrak really likes moving locomotives & cars around.

ITCS has been up since at least the 13th according to TransitDocs.

They are still in the throes of upgrading all of the PTC systems to the P42 fleet. Not all of them are completed and they are still contemplating running diesel operation over the corridor. They are continuing to install ACSES on some of them.

They can't do this while they are in service.

And of course this takes time. It's not something that can be done overnight.

Do you mean the possibility of DMUs as Amfleet replacements? If not, I think I missed some news somewhere.

I was responding to NSC1109. This has nothing to do with DMUs or Amfleets.
