The apocalypse is nigh! 2012, 2012!

With the Michigan track work completed, on time improvements for the Wolverine have been pretty astounding. In fact, on Sunday all three westbound trains were early arriving into CUS. Has this ever happened, sometimes there would be whole months without a single train being on time.

Sunday May 6:
351-4 minutes early
353-24 minutes early
355-25 minutes early

There have also been the run of the mill 25-40 minute late trains, and one train which was over two hours late, but those seem to be the exceptions. For a train that was routinely 30 minutes down without super slow zones, these times are impressive. Bring on more upgrades. Or maybe because it is 2012 we should just stop the upgrades since the world is going to end and all, for on time Wolverine is surely foretelling the end of the Earth.
