- Last night, Amtrak's Pere Marquette(#370) lost it's engine and was
- stranded in Michigan City for nearly 5 hours until an engine could be
- sent out to pull the train. This is the second time in less than a week
- that this train has been delayed by faulty equipment. Last week an their
- engine died in Hammond, IN and was delayed for several hours. Then the
- morning after that, the replacement engine was damaged and the train derailed
- by a flat-bed trailer on a truck in Gary near the steel mills.

- P370-24, as CSX designates it, arrived at St. Joseph MI at 12:53 am, rather
- than 8:11 pm as it is supposed to.
