Passenger Trains > Long Distance Train Arrivals at Chicago TodayDate: 06/28/16 17:38 Long Distance Train Arrivals at Chicago Today Author: Winnemucca Long distance trains arrived at Chicago Union Station today, Tuesday June 28, 2016 as follows:
#4 - 35 mins early. #6 - 2 hrs, 7 mins late. #8 - Left La Crosse 8 hrs, 34 mins late. Left Seattle 8 hrs, 56 mins late!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? What happened?? #22 - 10 mins late. Left San Antonio 15 mins late. #29 - 1 hr, 8 mins late. #49 - 3 hrs, 25 mins late. #851 - 4 mins early. #58 - 1 hr, 20 mins late. Unless otherwise indicated all trains departed their originating stations within 5 mins of "On Time" (or were reported On Time, or early, at some point in their route).

Bottom line, it was track washout east of Glasgow, MT due to severe rain several days ago that caused the delay to #7, which caused it to arrive in Seattle and Portland late evening. Turnaround time at those locations resulted in after midnight departures for the returning #8.

Reports were that storm was even worse to east near Wolf Point. Did not find out the exact location of washout.
By the way, Cottonwood Inn at Glasgow, MT has the best BNSF mainline train watching trailer sites anywhere with two or three sites having a wonderful view of the BNSF mainline. Hotel staff surprised when I requested one such site as most customers want to be as far from the rail as possible!! |
