The southbound Eagle that departed Chicago on 9/8 was delayed about 6-7 hours in Saint Louis due to a failure of the locomotive. It took Amtrak six hours to bring another locomotive. As a result, the segment from Fort Worth to San Antonio on 9/9 was cancelled and replaced by a bus. We were coming down from Dallas southbound and had to rent a car instead of riding the bus.
Does any one know why it takes six hours to find a replacement locomotive? It would seem that they could just "borrow" or "rent" one from UP.
