Passenger Trains > Who says long distance trains don't run on time?

Impressive run for today's #4 from La Junta!

---

And that was how #4 ran for me a couple of weeks ago getting into CHI 25 minutes early. Now if my VIA 1 - 2 could only get somewhat close to that!!!

Amazing because the CN only has to run two passenger trains in each direction each week and can't get it right. The BNSF runs 21 trains in each direction per week (trains 7 - 8 and 3 - 4 and part of 5 = 6) and gets it close to right most of the time!!

Don't forget Metra and Mertolink, BNSF just knows how to keep a well oiled machine just running smoothly!
