According to a post made by CHP Redding that was shared to the Amtrak Coast Starlight Facebook group, they are requesting help in looking for the suspects responsible for leaving a car (based on the post, looks like it is rather a pickup truck) on the tracks in Cottonwood, and yesterday morning at 4am, a northbound Coast Starlight, obviously an hour late, hit that abandoned car, and lost two more hours in the progress. The same thing happened again this morning about the same time. This has affected 14 (18) and 14 (19), and from what I hear, the train did not sit at the KFS train depot for that long. There are some questions that should be answered, and here they are:
1. Is my account of this incident accurate?
2. If not, how accurate (or inaccurate) is my account of the incident?
3. Is it common for the CS to run late by an hour between RDD and CIC, for the Northbound run?
