Following Anniversary Engine #184

[Agent]

AMTK 184 is back on the California Zephyr, but as the second unit this time. I caught it on Amtrak #5(17) at Agency, Iowa running on the left track which doesn't happen too often for #5.

184 is heading east now on the California Zephyr that's due into Chicago later today. It's still the second unit, but now it's the second of three engines. I caught Amtrak #6(20) at Agency, Iowa running on the left track to eventually pass a coal train.

Back in front and heading back west, AMTK 184 is leading Amtrak #5(23). Also, this California Zephyr has the private cars Cimarron River and Blue Ridge Club on the end of it.

I caught 184 this evening leading Amtrak #6(26) out of Ottumwa, Iowa over nine hours late. "Freight train interference" is the reason Amtrak stated for the lateness.

Rode the zephyr last week. Departed Chicago on satruday the 23rd. Ended up having both 184 and then 301 (picked up in Denver). I felt lucky.

 

[Agent]

Amtrak #5(29) has AMTK 184 leading it westward.

 

[Agent]

184 is should be arriving in Chicago later today on the point of Amtrak #6(01). The eastbound California Zephyr was running about five and a half hours late out of Ottumwa, Iowa have been delayed several hours in Utah yesterday by a "disabled freight train."

 

[Agent]

Amtrak #5(04) has 184 leading westward once again.

Hope I never ride a train pulled by 184 - I'd probably soil my Underoos while boarding!!

 

[Agent]

I caught AMTK 184 leading Amtrak #6(07) this afternoon running over seven hours late out of Ottumwa, Iowa. Considering this train started nearly seven hours late out of Emeryville, I'm surprised it didn't lose more time.

 

[Agent]

I caught AMTK 184 this evening leading Amtrak #5(10) past an eastbound BNSF coal train.

 

[Agent]

184 leading Amtrak #6(13) at Agency, Iowa running less than two hours late.

 

[Agent]

I caught AMTK 184 leading Amtrak #5(16) at Agency, Iowa this evening. And if I had chosen the first crossing east of here, I could've gotten a shot of it meeting Amtrak #6(14) running over nine and a half hours late.
