You must not have been reading the numerous earlier posts about this set of equipment.  Bottom line, it was track washout east of Glasgow, MT due to severe rain several days ago that caused the delay to #7, which caused it to arrive in Seattle and Portland late evening.  Turnaround time at those locations resulted in after midnight departures for the returning #8.

Thank you.

It looks like the on time per. with the LSL and Capitol we had in the recent past is going down the toilet again. What's up?

Storm at Glasgow bad enough that we vacated our travel trailer and went inside the on property hotel.  Reports were that storm was even worse to east near Wolf Point.  Did not find out the exact location of washout.

By the way, Cottonwood Inn at Glasgow, MT has the best BNSF mainline train watching trailer sites anywhere with two or  three sites having a wonderful view of the BNSF mainline.  Hotel staff surprised when I requested one such site as most customers want to be as far from the rail as possible!!
