Author: SunsetLtd Lost it all around El Paso, major CTC failure and with the removal of the crossovers at Tower 196 (west end of Union Depot) #1 had to go all the way to the Rio Grande Bridge and then reverse into the station.

Author: ProAmtrak That's sad That's the norm, they used to keep the passengers on until 7 way back in the 90s when 1 and 2 went to Florida, Amtrak needs to change that schedule to later instead of what they do now!

The commuter agency of Metrolink controls the operations at Union Station and does not agree to a later arrival. Train 3 was "grandfathered" in as its previoius time of arrival. Too many commuter trains until 9 am or so they claim. When #1 is operating late, its subject to waiting outside the terminal for track room Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 06/24/18 19:29 by mundo. |
