Amtrak just sent me new tickets, no information as to why. 14, which is normally due into Portland at 3:32 pm, now shows as 5:32 pm. We're getting on in Sacramento, which still shows a departure time of 11:59 pm, so the CS is going to lose 2 hours between those stations now.
I assume this is track work of some kind, but as of right now I don't see a service disruption listed anywhere.
I don't mind two more hours on the train, but it makes me really, really, really, really, really, really glad that we didn't try to make a same-day connection to 28! I assume that people trying to make that connection will now be bustituted somewhere along the line.
EDIT: I see that a MOD has edited the title of my post to add an estimated date. After poking around on the Amtrak site, the delay is currently in effect from 6/30 to 7/6. I don't know if/where they've added the padding into the schedule other than PDX.
