Passenger Trains > 352(25)

Scheduled departure was 13:25, pulled from CUS 14:45. Saw him pull up to the St Charles Air Line (the name of the control point there slips my mind right now). The diesel shop was going to send someone out to look at their charger. The train was 3 hours late last I checked but now it's off the asm maps. 

Train 381 this morning had 33, and train 301 had engine 63. It's that time of year again when the chargers run out. Pictured is train 302 waiting its turn to wye as 307.

352 today cancelled. 351 tomororw cancelled. 

Are the Chargers in the full dark blue paint scheme planned for use on what remains of the LDT's? If so that seems like a recipe for disaster. 

Train 352(25) was delayed out of Chicago over an hour for Mechanical. Finally departed, then broke down before leaving the Amtrak Chicago Terminal. Returned to station, cancelled. Passengers to 354(25), or refunded.

In the other direction, 355(25) was delayed 51 min at initial terminal, Pontiac MI account safety appliance not functioning.
