* SLC Departed: 10 minutes late. * PRO Departed: 32 minutes late. * HER Departed: 1 hour and 5 minutes late. * GRI Departed: 1 hour and 8 minutes late. * GJT Departed: 2 hours and 42 minutes late. I wonder why they didn't scare up something a lot sooner than GJT! lowwater zwsplac Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > #6 ran into trouble as well.

I've got a ticket to ride, as the song goes, departing Chicago on Sept. 19, bound for Salt Lake City's 11:50pm arrival there Sept. 20.

But the western part sounds like an engine problem, or an engineer wishing to provide passengers with an extra-smooth ride while still sleeping... |
