Michigan Service

[Amtrak Watcher]

I’ll be spending most of February on business tips on the Michigan trains: especially 350 and 353. What kind of equipment do these use, are they punctual, and what can I expect?

I have to make one trip to Toronto on Viarail, and wonder if anyone has experience with the Tunnel Bus between Detroit and Windsor. How are the boarder formalities handled?

They usually use Horizon corridor coaches, but occasionally will have an ex-Metroliner "Michigan" coach thrown in there. They also will use either a Horizon or Amfleet food service car. Train 350 doesn't offer business class, but 353 does.

On-time performance can be sporadic. I've been on time on that route once or twice, and have been up to 30 or 45 minutes late. It really depends on the day.
