My wife and myself took the Texas Eagle back in Feb.The train to Chicago was on time.Last time it was 5 hours late[gate crossings out]& the wife said never again!So we made it to Chicago,got some grub & got a seat with the rest of the crowd waiting for their trains.The Southwest Chief was leaving on time,and we had us a Deluxe room.Well the trip down was slow[due "of coarse"to Heavy freight ]& my wife was not good with the rocking effect.But I enjoyed it alot/nice view/nice food/nice people /nice Amtrak employe's.Anyhow,we ended up being 4 or 5 hours late & we steped off the train in San Antonio into a blizzard!My wife won't go by rail [ for now ],but I'm heading out again in May.....happy rails
