It was a "Precision Scheduled Railroading" joke, alluding to all the double-length freight trains these days. Amtrak #29 broke down in northeast Indiana this morning, so Amtrak #49 was doubled onto it despite having eight private cars on its rear end. Date: 09/23/22 19:41 Re: Amtrak PSR?

Normal sized Capitol Limited on the rear. Andy Date: 09/23/22 19:45 Re: Amtrak PSR? Author: mvrr10 #49 had the 100-105-130 with 11 cars of the Lake Shore Ltd then 8 private cars and rescued a disabled #29 with the 55 and 85 with 5 Superliner cars. Twenty four cars in total, made stops for the 449 section,then 49s and finally 29 traffic. Elkhart was a 12 minute station stop. Would be interesting to hear how the train was handled at Chicago on arrival.

Track 25 connects south side track 28 to north side track 19 and provides a continuous platform. What to do if track 19 is unavailable? In pre-amtrak days if it was a Burlington train a yard engine would have followed it in and set the rear end over to another starion track. Date: 09/24/22 10:48 Re: Amtrak PSR?
