Just out of boredom today, I thought that I'd check and see how the Texas Eagles were running (as far as on-time performance). Well, I saw both Train 22's, but no soutbound Train 21/421 today. I was looking on the Amtrak site using their "Track a Train" feature. Seems pretty odd to me that I couldn't find a southbound during the two or three times I checked today. I thought it was a daily train, and one could usually see three TE's onthe line at any one time - either two southbound and one northbound, and vice-versa depending on time. And, it being a Tuesday, they should have had a connection with the SL in San Antonio tonight at around 10 p.m., shouldn't they? That would mean that they would be in McGregor by now-ish.
Unless I'm reading the schedule all wrong. And I was. It looks like the 421 is what is showing on their train tracker as westbound Train 1 as it would have left SAS this Tuesday morning - and I just don't see a daily 21. Any idea as to why? I don't see anything on their webpage about it.
