Passenger Trains > 48/30 of the 13thDate: 07/14/19 01:05 48/30 of the 13th Author: sethamtrak I know 30 left Chicago late due to a late turn of equipment stemming from 29 behind very late. Saw 29 by me here in Holland, OH at 12:35pm westbound with engines 52, 138 and 146.
What the heck happened to 48 tonight out of Chicago? Seth- Date: 07/14/19 02:55 Re: 48/30 of the 13th Author: mp51w Crew HOS issue. My guess is, inbound #29 crew must be normally be scheduled to work outbound #48.

Estimated to be about 5 hrs late at many stops. Date: 07/14/19 07:33 Re: 48/30 of the 13th Author: Passfanatic That's awful for the crew and passengers who need to get to their destinations at a certain time. For railfans who live along the Water Level Route in Ohio and Pennsylvania, I'm sure that many of you were out taking pictures of the several hour late 48.

It's expensive to have extra board employees standing by, especially when the regular crew is already paid a guarantee! Date: 07/14/19 11:18 Re: 48/30 of the 13th Author: MEKoch And no one at Amtrak cares........... The leadership does not lead in the right direction.
