Passenger Trains > 8/19th

Where is 8/19th?

This train has fallen off the radar. The Great Northern would NOT run their passenger trains that way!

Number 8 departed Spokane at 09:16.

They’re detouring on the UP today on account of BNSF cutting in the new Lake Pend Oreille bridge.

When will this train return to BNSF trackage?

And it's still off the map it seems at 6:15 pm EST..........Train #8/28 did leave Seattle/Portland at 9 pm, instead of 5 pm due to late turn of inbound equipment. So there's that to contend with as well.....

They turned off the tracker. Was going to be about 4 hours late leaving Chicago account the vehicle strike WB on 7. However, they lost an additional 4 hours leaving Seattle due to encountering "mechanical issues". Left Seattle 8 hours late.

Seattle has a new locomotive shop, but the cars are maintained out in the open  on pit tracks that have been there for 70ish years.

It seems that if #8 leaves Seattle after midnight (i.e. more than 7.5 hrs late) it doesn't show up on the tracker.  I would guess that's some sort of bug in the system.
