SW Chief, CA Zephyr, & Empire Builder - DELAYED Chicago 1/25/2025
Author: jp1822

As of 4:22 pm CT:

SW Chief - "expected" to depart at 4:45 pm, 2 hours and 20 minutes late
CA Zephyr - "expected" to depart at 5:00 pm, 3 hours late
Empire Builder - "expected" to depart at 4:30 pm, 1.5 hours late

Borealis left Chicago over 5 hours late. 

No way will they be sending all those long distance trains out between 4:30 pm and 5 pm CT on 1/25/2025, so those delays will only get longer........Good grief. 

Good News? Empire Builder, CA Zephyr, and SW Chief arriving INTO Chicago today 1/25/2025 came in early or are expected to be early!

Well the Empire Builder #7/27 did get out of Chicago a bit under 2 hours late - not bad. Still waiting on CA Zephyr and SW Chief as of 5:42 pm CT. Yikes!

Temp in Chicago is 33 degrees, feels about 10 degrees colder, but there's been worse days! This age-old problem is just amazing to me.

It is also worth nothing that the Cardinlal was delayed over two hours leaving Chicago.  Meanwhile, everything ran normal for trains orginating in NYC and Boston, where it has been just as cold, maybe colder.  We hit -18 Wednesdaay morning here in western NH.

If only this was surprising.  Amtrak is broken.  And no one at the top seems to care.
