Sitting here at No Name, CO, and watched the westbound go thru around 9:40 PM. Whats the delay?

Scheduled Mow work in the Glenwood Springs, Colo area.

This no.5 took a 3-hour hit yesterday between Ottumwa and Osceola, IA - been creeping later since.

And flood it more, wash out the CBQ mainline that currenty carries the Zephyr, thus annulling it? For BNSF karma, maybe the storm should be over the Dallas Fort Worth, Tex. area.

I have taken train to Denver several times boarding at Princeton ith good results.
Last week I opted for Frontier out of Milwaukee. I guess they are having issues but both flights a little early, Milwaukee(MKE) is very friendly and easy to use, Denver well.......

Anyway, what I have been reading about LD trains lately, no way. For me the scheduled time to Denver is more that long enough and not interested in sitting in Iowa looking at corn fields.
