Radio traffic for the past 10 minutes or so about some sort of Mecial Emergency on AMtrak. This radio traffic started at about 846AM. I do NOT know if the involved train is the 4449 steam special or the Cascedes train that departed at about 8:30AM. Does anyone have any further info on what train is incvolved??? 4449 Twitter at ORHF has NO info as I post as of 9:01AM PT sat 6-24-17. NO twitter posts updates since 8:45AM on the offical 4449 twitter. https://twitter.com/ORHF_PDX?lang=en 4449 was scheduled to depart at 8:35AM from Portland Union Station.

Check that, she started up and was creeping forward but has been halted. Still at Union.

Looks like a rather lenghty delay. I hope all goes well for this train wehever it finally departs ---Daniel Date: 06/24/17 09:44 Re: Amtrak has Medical emergency --Portland area ???? 4449 train Author: daniel3197 ATCS now has a NORTHBOUND lineup out of PDX union station Trk 3 as of 9:43AM.
This just MAY be the SP 4449 Steam special. ----Daniel Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 06/24/17 09:45 by daniel3197. Date: 06/24/17 09:50 Re: Amtrak has Medical emergency --Portland area ???? 4449 train Author: Margaret_SP_fan DS just now said "Seattle garbage is stuck on the
other side of the [Williamette Draw] bridge with the bridge open." The bridge is open for marine traffic, as can be sen on the Vancouver Terminal ATCS feed. (You have to be in the Yahoo ATCS group, which is restricted, to see this ATCS feed.) Marine traffic always has the right of way over trains when it comes to openable bridges over navigable waterways, . Looks as though the SP 4449 may be on her way soon. The BNSF DS had said earlier that the 4449 was not supposed to leave until 9:30. Remember -- this is a low-priority special move. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 06/24/17 09:58 by Margaret_SP_fan.

While waiting for that to take place, problems with the AC in one of the coach cars were dealt with.
