Date: 05/11/22 20:09 Re: Today's #3 and #5 seriously late Author: sethamtrak Both had mechanical issues which prevented them from departing Chicago on time. I know 3 had issues with a superliner. Not sure what it was on train 5. 7 left an hour late due to issues with their diner. 393 was almost 4 hours late out of Chicago. A strong day for Chicago Mechanical!
Seems like they are getting warmed up for the return of daily service. The mechanical delays were entirely separate from the grade crossing accident. Date: 05/12/22 07:15 Re: Today's #3 and #5 seriously late Author: steve4031 Great pictures. I wish I was on 5 now waking up in central Nebraska . . .

And tomorrow should be a daylight trip over the WP in west Utah and Nevada, including Arnold's Loop.
