Amtrak #6 OMA-CHI SUN WILL detour UP (old CNW)east of Omaha
Author: brc600

From a reliable UP source. Noon call. No UP pilot unit # yet. Units are 44 and 5 and 10 cars. Train in Omaha depot. Psgrs between OMA and CHI stops are being bustituted. SAT #6 not even to Ottumwa Iowa (on BNSF) per last report. Pass the word.

Amtrak crew will supposedly change @ Boone, Iowa.

This happens often enough that maybe Amtrak should qualify some of its own crews to operate over some or all of the UP between Chicago and Ogden.

crews pushed back when they tried to qualify them between den-slc, saying they arn't that familar when not running up there for awhile.

Which train was this, exactly?  If that photo was taken on Saturday and the train is eastbound, it might answer yesterday's question from Winnemucca of whatever happened to the #6 due Chicago on Friday the 26th?
