Status of Texas Eagle

[N.T.]

Hi; I was just checking the status of the Texas Eagle between Bloomington, IL. and Chicago, today. Aren't trains TE#322, TE#422, and TE#22 all the same train. If so, why do you think there is a 15 minute discrepancy between when those three trains arrive in Chicago? Maybe the first car going over the finish line compared to the last car?

Aloha

Even moving slowly that must be one heck of a long train could it be LTR's? :giggle: :lol:

It probably got entered differently in the computer system by mistake. An agent may have put in the status for something like 21 but didn't for 421 or 321. So therefore the computer is calculating a different ETA, based on a different station.
