HELP!!! Need Status of Train 51 for Nov. 4

[racer1735]

I know it early, but if anyone is only or has a scanner and can tell me the status of train #51 this morning I would appreciate it. I am to catch it at Crawfordsville, IN, which is a flag stop, supposedly at 7:28 a.m. The Amtrak website shows everything running on-time, yet 'Julie' say's the train is 1 hour, 48 minutes late. I have a 45 minute drive to get to the station and would like to not have to sit in the 24 degree cold for nearly two hours waiting!

Can anyone solve the riddle? Thanks in advance!

I'd call Julie back and get an agent on the phone and ask them.

But even then, I'd still take what they say with a grain of salt. There are rare occasions where the train does make up time.

Thanks. Got ahold of an agent and the train is currently in the station at Indianapolis. They have nearly two hours of 'padding' time built in and supposedly they are only running about 20 minutes late.

Good thing you were up that early, Alan. ;-)

I was getting ready to go ride the last run of the LIRR M1 cars.
