A six-hour delay ensued until the tracks re-opened about 0400 this morning. Further delays have the train 13 hours late in southern Illinois, with a likely 3 a.m. arrival into Chicago.

So as not to be thrown out onto the increasingly dangerous Chicago streets in the middle of the night. But of course we all know that will never happen.

OTOH, they do need to turn the equipment in time for the next day's departure, which they did - #21(7) OT out of Union Station this afternoon. |
