Passenger Trains > Train #28 Stuck? What Will This Mean for #27 or #28 ofDate: 07/26/12 22:24 Train #28 Stuck? What Will This Mean for #27 or #28 of Author: jp1822 Appears train 28 is stuck between Bingen-White Salmon and Pasco? Anyone know details? Appears from the Amtrak status it will be a while trying to get in to Pasco. Anyone have any details or what's going on?
If #28 truly is stuck.....or severly delayed, will #7/27 go to Seattle instead (full consist?). Just curious if any plan has been put into place...... Date: 07/27/12 02:31 Re: Train #28 Stuck? What Will This Mean for #27 or #28 Author: F40PHR231 A series of brushfires ignited, some 350+ acres burned. No word on 28's progress.

As for the Empire Builders looks like they are pretty much back to normal - running HOURS late. 28 and 8 appear they will be coming in to their Western terminals today, and that a combined 8/28 did finally join up and depart Spokane a little over 6 hours late! At least things are moving and hopefully the brush fires are under control..... Date: 07/28/12 11:38 Re: Train #28 Stuck?

What Will This Mean for #27 or #28 Author: jp1822 In early July I was keeping a watch on this train for an upcoming trip and I was noticing that this train would arrive into Spokane and depart 5 to 6 hours late. Now sometimes it would make up time on its way to Seattle/Portland, but not much. What this often meant was a late departure out of Portland and Seattle, upwards of 10 p.m. at time. Six hours late coming in to Seattle, six hours late going out of Seattle!
