Passenger Trains > Long Distance Train Arrivals at Chicago TodayDate: 08/27/15 16:57 Long Distance Train Arrivals at Chicago Today Author: Winnemucca Long Distance trains arrived at Chicago Union Station today, Thursday August 27, 2015 as follows :
#4 - 12 mins late. #6 - 2 hrs, 59 mins late. #8 - Left Columbus 4 hrs, 46 mins late. Left Seattle 2 hrs, 36 mins late. #22 - 5 mins late. #29 - 54 mins late. #49 - 1 hr, 24 mins late. Left New York 13 mins late. #51 - 57 mins late. #58 - 2 mins early. All trains departed their originating stations within 5 mins of "On Time" (or were reported On Time, or early, at some point in their route) except #8 and #49.

#8 Arrived Chicago 8:25 p.m., 4 hrs 30 mins late. At least one detraining passenger at Glenview, IL was a "never-again" rider (her words) because of the delay, and some of the people meeting arrivals there weren't impressed by Amtrak's timekeeping, either. This verbalized unhappiness is actually quite unusual, in my experiences meeting the train there. Seattle late departure caused by late arrival of #7(23). While we were all busy watching the fire situation at Essex, MT this unusual westbound delay passed un-noticed. Apparently the train could not make maximum speed, as it continually lost time all the way from St. Paul to Seattle, and left the former point a couple of hours late after arriving nearly on-time. A good intelligence estimate would be that a speed-restricted freight engine was added there. Can anyone confirm/deny? Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 08/27/15 22:15 by illini73. |
