Passenger Trains > Change In Train NumberDate: 03/13/23 08:13 Change In Train Number Author: fredstout Yesterdays #3 into Flagstaff was listed as 1003. It was due into Flafstaff at a more or less usual time. Was this train number change caused by other disruptions on #3 or #4?

It's done for everybody's computers. Amtrak's and the railroads.

Time change make a lot more sense.
Nathan Date: 03/13/23 14:08 Re: Change In Train Number Author: Hartington Airlines do this sometimes as well. It's about the underlying operating system. In the airline systems it was about the way they counted days and changed them into dates which meant having the same flight number twice on he same day was a nono!
