With the recent UP track washouts in the western U.S. one of the Sunset Limited trains that was supposed to leave New Orleans earlier this week never left. That one was cancelled. I was expecting them to start it back up again after the tract were repaired but there still seems to be only one train running. Normally there are two - one eastbound and one westbound. They take 2 days to cross the U. S. from New Orleans to L.A. and reverse direction at the end of the route. So they come through my hometown 6 days a week. Now it seems to be just one train running. The train the did not leave New Orleans still does not appear to have returned to service. So the train that is passing through my hometown today will sit overnight in New Orleans and come back through Westbound tomorrow and then not come back for 4 or 5 days unless the second train starts back up again. Does anyone know what is going on and if Amtrak plans to return the second Sunset Limited train to service?
