I just noticed that the northbound Texas Eagle out of San Antonio, TX is running 5+ hours late today (Wed, 12/7/11) and hasn't reached Fort Worth yet. Has anyone heard what the cause might've been?

Todays #22 left San Antonio (SAS) over 5 hours late but no info as to why?? UP will be doing trackwork in East Texas over the next couple of months between DAl and LGV which will require a Bus Bridge :help: but that hasnt started yet?? Todays #21 is only a little over 1 Hour late out of Temple so its not that?? If I had to guess Id say Equipoment problems, maybe Engine,(this Train only runs with one!) maybe frozen cars, it was very cold here last night! :help: ???

UPDATE: #22 left SAS 5+ Hours Late with a UP Helper Engine in the Lead, so it was Engine problems! (even though it was only in the 20s here last night! :rolleyes: )
