What's the deal with them leaving soo late?? They are not getting in that late anymore... Same with others? Are they short staffed with the holiday season?
As noted in another similar thread by Al (Oldtimer), working in the yard when the temps are this cold is a nightmare. You get frozen airlines; frozen traps on the single level cars; frozen water & sewage lines; etc. No doubt it is issues like this that are causing problems getting the trains out of the yard on time.What's the deal with them leaving soo late??

Based on what I'm hearing, it sounds a lot like Amtrak opted to throw the Builder under the bus to keep everything else out of CHI running.In the case of 30, Crew rest kept us til 7:30, after which problems in the dining and lounge cars resulted in both being subbed out with a diner lounge, and engine problems resulted in the engines from yesterday's 6 being subbed in.
