I am in Texas Eagle/ Sunset Limited headed to California. We left San Antonio and about 30 miles later the brakes began to fail. We are moving backwards slowly to the San Antonio station. The conductor explained that the train can’t safely go forward but can safely and slowly go backwards. The conductor explained that Amtrak is going to get a freight engine to attached to this train. So I’m guessing the brake problem is confined to the engine. I see the following alert posted by Amtrak.
Texas Eagle Train 421 which departed Chicago (CHI) on on 1/2 is returning to San Antonio (SAS) due to mechanical problems. Updates to come.
