So I just arrived on the Coast Starlight about 2 hours late in LAX. Luckily they had coach problems for #2 so I would make the connection. The consist pulled in at about 11:45 pm. We were all boarded and ready to go by 12:30 so I fell asleep. Turns out we did not leave until 2:15 am because some crazy guy made a bomb threat or joked about it. It took the LAPD another two hours to arrest him and search the train with dogs. Luckily no one was made to get off. I just arrived in Houston today, 5/28, 5:56 pm 7 hours late! If it wasn't for that we would be pretty close to on time because we only stoped once for 4 freighters to pass. Then some other various time for freight, but those times weren't more than 15-20 mins each.
