3 is "canceled" that day. There is only 1003.At some point along the route, there will be two trains of #3 on the same day. So one is #3 and the other is #1003.
Agree, but no other Western LDT is being renumbered like this westbound SWC. Not even the eastbound SWC.I expect it has to do with daylight savings time, which begins the following morning.
Yup, overnight trains will all lose an hour...including 1003.I'm guessing that because it passes thru Arizona. As for the rest of the overnight trains, I'm guessing it will automatically lose an hour.
Train #1 operates only 3 times a week, thus there are no two trains #1 on the same day.
As far as train #3, while it is true that #3 was "cancelled" on the 11th, when it gets to some point on its journey, there may be a day where there are 2 trains scheduled to arrive the same day.
Just using it as an example, my son is arriving in Kingman, AZ on 3/12 on train #3. But there is one at 12:27 am and one at 11:27 pm that day. Which is he on? :huh: With one being #3 and the other being #1003, it's easy to know..
An Amtrak puzzler for anyone interested.
Train 3 departing Chicago on March 11 is "canceled" and replaced by train 1003. Who/what's to blame?
