Passenger Trains > California Zephyr 5 hours late departing Emeryville, CA 3/17/2017Date: 03/17/17 22:38 California Zephyr 5 hours late departing Emeryville, CA 3/17/2017 Author: TennesseeTraveler Looks like the Zephyr departed Emeryville five hours late today 3/17/2017. Does anyone know why? CZ 5 arrived basically on time 3/16/2017 at 4:01 PM according to Amtrak.com so late arrival of the "turn around train" would not be the problem.

FRA rules require all wheels to be replaced. At some point they must have thrown in the towel- I saw them go by the house yesterday.
