That is correct, over.

They tucked the parlors back to bed last night in the pocket track at the 8th st. coach yard. Will they try to ship them out again soon?

Well I am worried and skeptical that firther daily updates will continue as
a false comfort level settles in.
YOU can check daily the Flagstaff Railcam on Youtube at 5 AM Mountain time == 4 AM Pacific California time.
Eastbound Trian 4 arrives just after 5AM Mountain time. It arrived at 5:14 AM Mountain time a few weeks ago BE READY

EDIT
Early Jan 15, 2018 Train 4 Arrived at FLAG at 5:10 AM MT and departed ON time at 5:37AM MT .
That is the very very EARLIEST train 4 eastbound has arrived Flagstaff to my knowledge.

JAN 31, 2018 Trian 4 arrived FLG at 5:14 AM Mountain Time.
I Watched this on the youtube Flagstaff Railcam. It was a Loong required Hold for time at FLG sation.
That railcam is run by Virtual Railfan. That should give you about 1 day of notice before it gets to IL.

Really doesn't help those of us in California.

5:14 AM? That tells me thanks to the elmination of the Williams Stop and max speed of 90, No. 4 really can haul ass! BTW what's up with the delays every day so far on moving the Parlors on no. 4!
