Seth-

Nothing happened between Red Wing and St. Paul. 7(13) arrived St. Paul only four minutes late.

It lost a big chunk at St. Paul, departing 5:31 late and it has been losing time steadily ever since,
now about ten hours late.

Has BNSF 5031 on the point.

Besides the all-too-frequent story of an Amtrak engine going belly-up, there were HEP problems with
the remaining Amtrak power, that had to be fixed before departing St. Paul. Then there were slow
orders in northern North Dakota. Train has now disappeared into Service Disruption status, probably
because it has been decided to give up on it at Spokane and put the passengers on buses.

Nothing out of the ordinary that'd delay it more.

It was held at Wadena, MN for high winds, then took a hit at MP 167.1 Glasgow Sub for an integrity failure, Oswego MT for rough track (possible broken rail). Had a decent trip to Spokane after it left Minneapolis, really.
