Amtrak 4... Late...Again
Author: regmacSC

A 2 hour and 45 minute late Amtrak 4 arrives at Kansas City Union Station as it passes a BNSF Z Train and empty Martin Lake coal train.

#4 has yet to pass the scene of yesterday's incident in Chicago suburban territory....But maybe the BNSF dispatchers have been patronizing the weed shop that is advertising on the billboard in the photo. Get out the cups! lol

The incident was this morning not yesterday. Further it was not dispatcher-related. Enough tracks were restored to allow Metra and BNSF to resume operations by mid-morning.

I stand corrrected on the timing; I first read it so early this morning that I guess I assumed it happened yesterday. Which changes nothing regarding the fact that #4 had not yet gotten to that point as it was arriving in Kansas City. As for dispatcher involvement, I am quite aware that there was none. What I was doing was making a joke based on the billboard in the photo. I am so sorry that it bothered you.

Not to worry, a perfectly normal post will offend someone.

Well, excuse me for setting the record straight re: the derailment.
