Missed Connection - Amtrak's Fault
On June 12th train 11 from Seattle to Sacramento was held up by the operations manager in Portland Oregon for over one hour, mostly without air conditioning, to attach a rather shabby private car. This car had some problems which should have been fixed before #11 arrived. Alternately, it could have been repaired and attached to the next train.
So, over 500 folks sat in the heat for over an hour and many, including us, missed our connections.
Note: UP treated us quite well and we made up part of the lost hour. But not enough to meet our connections.
TOTALLY INEXCUSABLE!
