Amtrak Train 5 TURNS Back in Reno NV (5-3-08)

[daniel3197]

According to UP Dispatcher 74 this very--very LATE Train 5 of

the 1st from Chicago will TURN in Reno NV.

Train 6 of the 4th will Originate in Reno on Sunday

5-4-08.

This train 5 was scheduled to arrive Emeryville

(Oakland) tonight but will not now.

No Donner Pass or California for this train tonight

5-3-08 saturday .

This was monitored at 8:19PM PDT 5-3-08 on the

excellent Doyle railroadradio dot net feed (Cal--Neva

East).

DS 74 is talking about Wyeing the consist at Sparks

after the big stop downtown at Reno NV.

This early turnaround is a special move because this

train is so very tardy.

Sundays train 5 should likely continue into

California.

That is the latest on the long saga of this almost 12

hour late train at one point.

The Burlington, Iowa bridge collision is what caused

this one train only to detour the long route via

Kansas City and St Joseph, Mo and back to Lincoln ,

NE.

Post time 8:35 PM PDT 5-3-08.
