Passenger Trains > State of Good Repair - Chicago Edition

339 out of Glenview 2 hours and 41 mins late due to an issue with engine 4608. Swapped with engine 4613 in Chicago. (342 using 336/337's equipment on-time). On stop at Lake Forest to meet 342, 341 on time stacking in behind them at Deerfield. 

352 - mechanical assessment. On time "departure" from Chicago to stop at the shop for repair. 2 hours and 36 mins late out of Chicago in reality. 

370 - 30 mins late out of Chicago, mechanical issues. 

50 - mechanical assessment. On time "departure" from Chicago only to shove back to CUS. For further assessment by mechanical. Beech Grove "shuttle motor" issues. BG move dropped off the head end and cardinal allowed to leave under their own power with revised paperwork. 

Borealis 1340 towed by 7 to Milwaukee to protect the Milwaukee-Chicago passengers. (Smart move Amtrak!). You'll recall this set crapped out in La Crosse and they dumped everyone onto buses to St Paul and ran deadhead to Chicago in the middle of the night. Faulty coach and engine 4 dropped and replaced with engine 4 and 34052.
