Thanks Dale Smith Date: 04/18/14 20:38 Re: BNSF Run Times Author: upheritage6 that can vary. Trains stop and go.

Posted from Android Date: 04/18/14 22:03 Re: BNSF Run Times Author: SCAX3401 Amtrak is scheduled approximately 2.5 to 3.0 hours depending on direction (schedule padding is added to westbounds). A hot Z intermodal train can make the run in as little as 5.5 to 6.0 hours while drag manifests can and do die on the law, taking 15+ hours to make the trip. Westbounds manifests can be held for hours outside of Barstow if there is congestion in the yards. If I had to guess and this is purely a guess, the average would be about 9 hours, but of course that varies greatly from train to train.

My last trip out of Winslow west was on a vehicle train, seems to me it was 6-7 hrs. Posted from Android |
