California Zephyr #5 - what’s happening with our train?
Author: wzd

We are on #5 (7) in Reno running 6+ hours late. Hearing various stories - snowstorm ahead and/or engine problems earlier east of here.

Does anyone have the scoop on our delay today?

It’s an adventure, but seeing the snow again would have been better. The ride up yesterday was great.

Looks like you departed at 330... you should get some of the hill in daylight.

I just pulled up the CA radar.  You are headed into a major Sierra snowstorm and lowland rainstorm!  Enjoy the ride!

We ran very slowly from Truckee to Colfax. Train crew said we were following the rotary down The Hill.
