Passenger Trains > Amtrak #5 (1/6) What's Up?Date: 01/07/10 06:22 Amtrak #5 (1/6) What's Up? Author: SF3751 Amtrak #5 is apparently scheduled into DEN at 2:30 PM this afternoon vs its regular scheduled stop of 715-805 this morning. 7+ hours late. Woke up at 710 and just did the check. Must have been that good sized storm that rolled through town yesterday.
Date: 01/07/10 07:56 Re: Amtrak #5 (1/6) What's Up? Author: bnsfengineer It shows that the crew is DOL on number 6 and just about DOL on number 5.
Im stuck in Creston, Ia and suppose to deadhead home on Amtrak 6. But have not heard any other updates. Date: 01/07/10 08:47 Re: Amtrak #5 (1/6) What's Up? Author: dan http://72.148.42.113:8080/Amtrak/status/StatusMaps/AmtrakStatusMaps.html
click on west us on the map looks like they are close to each other Date: 01/07/10 09:17 Re: Amtrak #5 (1/6) What's Up? Author: RNinRVR Hard to say since 5 is showing overdue since leaving its last stop at 0135 local.

Date: 01/07/10 10:38 Re: Amtrak #5 (1/6) What's Up? Author: jackpot See both #5 and 6 are dead at Fairmont, Nebraska. A pleasant -26 degree wind chill with steady NW winds at 30mph. . . .
Date: 01/07/10 13:51 Re: Amtrak #5 (1/6) What's Up? Author: rustys6004 I'll bet by now the diners are out of stock and the passengers and crew are getting surly. As much as I love the train, this is why I pack water, granola bars, jerky, and other calorie dense stuff when I travel. That way I can eat and, if I have enough, open a cottage industry.
Date: 01/07/10 16:42 Re: Amtrak #5 (1/6) What's Up? Author: RNinRVR Looks like 6 is moving again, but 5 is still sitting.
Sharon Evans Glen Allen, VA Date: 01/07/10 16:53 Re: Amtrak #5 (1/6) What's Up? Author: HoggerMatt 5 and 6 both started moving about the same time. #6 has arrived Lincoln, Nebraska
Date: 01/07/10 18:48 Re: Amtrak #5 (1/6) What's Up? Author: Slumbercoach Had an email message from the wife of a Denver agent this evening (I have known the couple several years), in which she happened to mention to me that #5 is not expected into Denver until around 10 pm.

Took pretty long for her to track it down, but she finally found it for me. Amtrak #5 originating in DEN tomorrow, scheduled ontime departure (I should only hope).
In other news, Amtrak #5 that was supposed to arrive into DEN at 700 this morning is currently running 15 h & 42 minutes late. From the map the train is "overdue." Why don't they just spend the night in Denver and keep it running as #5 for tomorrow's train? Just me here; feel bad for the folks whose #6 had to be anulled in DEN for tomorrow's #5.

Stuck in Minot with freeze issues and air loss problems on every car and no hotel or bus....argh.
