I'm scheduled to take a #5 CZ from CHI-EMY departing this upcoming Saturday. This is my second attempt to ride this train, as my scheduled trip last year was cancelled by Amtrak when there was a track washout somewhere in Iowa. This year looks to not be much better, as I am concerned with the nationwide high temps this week and into next week causing heat kinks in the rail. I've heard about it happening before on #5, and I'm wondering if it's just something that's to be expected every summer. How much of a delay can this cause? Do trains every get completely cancelled because of compounding delays due to heat kinks? I'm really hoping I can finally take the train...
