That same conductor along with his assistant conductor were on train#22 which arrived in Marshall, TX five hours late last night. Taxied to their motel. Prolly that conductor overslept in his motel room or his taxi show up late this morning. They are based in Fort Worth.
 

Overslept, late taxi, or waiting for the legal off duty time?
I've had to wait for airline crews on occasion, just one of those things, folks.

The national news media have been covering extreme flooding in Texas for the past week.  Most recently, in the Austin area with dams overflowing with debris, highway bridges completely under water, etc.  It's a miracle that Amtrak of any of the railroads are running anything south of Ft Worth.
