I'm just not used to seeing the CL pass me on my morning commute into the office. (my office overlooks Pittsburgh Amtrak Station). Sometimes I'll see the PAer when she's running late, but I never see Superliners, so it made me do a double take.The CZ is running 9 hours late! At one point it was over 10 hours!! :wacko: Besides 4 hours is nothing but normal for the Cap in the winter time...
I'd say it's pretty rare. I take the Capitol Limited several times a year (Chicago-Washington and back) and I'm almost aways within 15 minutes of my arrival time.Is Capitol Limited typically always late? Year round? I am on that train this coming July.
You're one of the lucky ones then!I'd say it's pretty rare. I take the Capitol Limited several times a year (Chicago-Washington and back) and I'm almost aways within 15 minutes of my arrival time.Is Capitol Limited typically always late? Year round? I am on that train this coming July.
Day before yesterday the Cap was 6:20 late, and they held 97 for a X platform transfer. I talked to some of the PAX from 30, and they said the crew did a "........less than admirable job........" of informing them WHY they were late. All I heard him say was they had engine trouble, then the crew "died" from too many hours, and they had to wait almost an hour for a relief crew.......Sounded like a mess.Mrs RRB & I will be on that same Cap Ltd 30 train with rile42 on 2/6 and making a connection with the 97 later that day. :giggle:
Lots of layover time in DC if its on time, but sure hoping the CL isnt seven hours late that day
