Just found out this fact as reported by Friends of Amtrak and the Texas Association of Rail Passengers....
Amtrak had another rough summer on Union Pacific tracks. The Texas Eagle, during the month of August, had an average 5-1/2 hours of UP-attributable delays on a daily basis during the month of August. And the Sunset Limited during the same month was delayed by the UP an average of 6.9 hours. The only reason the Sunset Limited's figure is higher is because it runs only three days per week.
Thanks, UP! :angry:
