The Sunset Limited #2, departed LAX today (8/16) at 4:43pm, at total of 18 hours and 13 minutes late! It was supposed to depart yesterday (8/15) at 10:30pm.
Please, no pools. Most of the East Coast already has more water than we need. :lol:tp49 said:If we're taking a pool I go for 2.5 hours down.
As of the last report at 7:33 PM, between San Antonio, TX and Houston, TX, it was running 60 hours and 33 minutes late
That wasnt too long ago. The FRA should (but they wont) put pressure on up to allow Amtrak to have total priority over its freights. As much as we want to blame up, they never forecasted (nor did any other railroad) that in the last few years their would be a surge in traffic. Up should have saw the signs and added more doubletrack and ctc.NativeSon5859 said:Amtrak should warn every passenger buying a ticket on #'s 1/2 that there's a 99.9% chance of having significant delays en-route. 60 hours late is more than laughable, it's pathetic. No passenger could possibly plan for an arrival of more than a day late for pete's sake. Heck 10 hours late is pushing it as far as i'm concerned. Actually, remember when a 10-hours-late Sunset was cause for concern?
Which westbound departure? The equipment already missed it's westbound departure on the 8/19. Heck I'd be surprised if it makes it back to Orlando in time from the westbound departure on 8/22!PRR 60 said:The train is running dead head with no passengers on board. It is just a positioning move to set the equipment for the next westbound disaster. The web status makes it look like the real train, but it is not.
It won't. Being terminated in New Orleans for departure Monday, 8-23.Amfleet said:Which westbound departure? The equipment already missed it's westbound departure on the 8/19. Heck I'd be surprised if it makes it back to Orlando in time from the westbound departure on 8/22!
True, but probably the latelest passenger train on record, deadhead or not.Anthony said:Right, but with no pax aboard.
