I've been told by a person with access to these things that, because of the blizzard warnings in the Midwest right now, bulletins have been issued to add freight locomotives to Amtrak trains #5 and #6 today and tomorrow. I've suppose this would be subject to change at any time like a few other railroad plans I've seen.
I saw Amtrak #6(30) running through Agency, Iowa an hour and thirty-nine minutes late this morning with the BNSF 8000 leading it. This California Zephyr also happened to have the Phase III P40 heritage unit AMTK 822 in the third spot.
