I have received an email regarding a disruption of service for the California Zephyr (Train#5) on Friday Nov 25. How can I find out if this will disrupt service on Saturday Nov 26?
 
The train last night left Creston Iowa at 9:56 or 1 hour 15 minutes late. Arrived in Omaha (108 miles) at 6:01 or 7 hours and 6 minutes late. Don't know what happens between Creston and Omaha, but it's the third time in two weeks they were over 5 hours late to Omaha after leaving Creston just a little over an hour late. So what is happening in that stretch?

It is currently listed as 9 hours and 2 minutes late out of Denver.
 
Apparently it hit a group of raccoons somewhere in Iowa which caused air brake problems. The CZ had to switch to BNSF power units as a result.
But seriously, who were those masked critters??
 
Yesterday's train is now over 10 hours late out of Granby, CO.

Tonight's train left Osceola Iowa 7 minutes late, left Creston 3 hours late.
