From the looks of the Stauts Board, #5 and #6s OTP is getting worse by the day instead of improving! Looks like the Builder is getting back on Track, so to speak, which leaves the Zephyrs and the Texas Eagles with the worst OTP right now!
Ive read reports of the flooding starting to go down on the Missouri, and supposedly the trackwork has been being handled pretty swiftly! The problem still seems to be the rerouting of the Freights/Coal/Grain and Gravel Trains through the Midwest! Looks maybe Amtrak will have to start turning the Zephyrs early or even cancelling them like they did the Builders when all the trouble was happening in North dakota this Winter and Spring!
Hope someone on the scene, (say Al in Lincoln)or who is in the know, can give us some updated info as to why its taking so long to return to Regular Schedules/Routes! Will we ever see Omaha again?? Maybe Warren Buffet needs to run his Biz train into Omaha and kick some ass @ BNSF, and call up UP and tell them to get with the program! :help:
