Iowa Pacific Dome on California Zephyr

[Agent]

The eastbound California Zephyr arriving in Chicago today has one of Iowa Pacific's full-length dome cars on the end. I didn't catch the name of this one though. Amtrak #6(14) came through Agency, Iowa on the left track to pass some maintenance projects, and it was running about one hour and ten minutes late.

Sounded as if the wind was blowing a tad!

It's a south wind about 20 mph. No one is to be burning anything today.

So is it maintenance in Iowa that's been slowing so many Zephyrs this past week? Is is seasonal maintenance after our rough winter?

More or less, yes. These guys were here this time last year too.
