Rare ole EB #7 the usual punctual ON TIME departure from Chicago
Was late (3.5 hours Late) leaving Chicago - reason unknown at this time
And EB #8 also as usual running over 2 hours late
What a way to run a railroad On-Time.
UPON FURTHER REVIEW
It appears that EB #8 from this morning was late due to:
Amtrak's Empire Builder delayed in Red Wing due to 'abnormal package' (msn.com)
Thus the train was late arriving Chicago and late getting serviced for the EB #7 today !
The Paul Harvey - The Rest of the Story !
REVISED - - -
There is more to this - - -
EB #8 today was not used to make EB #7 today - rather the Chicago station had to
ferret out a spare train consist to make up #7 and await #8 to replace the spare set.
The interesting saga of the EB trains !
