Train Attendant
On a recent trip on the CZ (5/3) from Chicago to Emeryville there were 3 private cars at the rear of the train. In Denver this caused over an hour of additional delay, as at least one of the private cars had to be uncoupled and left on a separate track (and after passenger loading, recoupled). I was told this was because, with the 3 cars and the fact that trains must back into the Denver station, the train was so long the engine would not have been in a position in which it could be refueled. Whatever the reason, the additional delay compounded connection problems, and we ended up arriving in Emeryville about 5 1/2 hours late.
I have considerable flexibility in scheduling my trips and would like to avoid private cars if possible. Is it possible for the customer to determine whether or not a given train will be pulling private cars? TIA
