LATE - Really LATE

[WWW]

Amtrak #8 Friday June 11 encountered a storm - thunder bumper high winds vicinity of western ND - train was delayed 8 hours.
Was in two private cars 261 Cedar Rapids and SuperDome joining this train at MSP scheduled to leave 8:00am left about 3:++pm
Arriving Chicago just before midnight (schedule 3:35pm).
Returning Sunday June 13 rather uneventful - not all the drama of the outbound trip.

Will have more Windy City trips later in October to position equipment to and from MSP for the ACE (Autumn Colors Express) event and the
Cincinnati Daylight Express Tuesday October 19.

What 24 hours late - you must have misread the new schedule - something about Phileas Fogg crossing the date line ! LOL !

I remember a Sunset Limited trip pre-Katrina. We travelled from Las Vegas to Orlando, that train was almost exactly 24 hours late!
