I will be riding on 59/CONO in late October and after reading the timetable for that route I discovered what appears to be an example of "padding" built into the schedule for that train.The penultimate station for this route is Hammond,LA at milepost 881. NOL is next and last station at milepost 934. The schedule indicates 59/CONO departing HMD at 1:28 P.M and arriving NOL at 3:32 P.M. That is a distance of only 53 miles yet the schedule indicates that it will take 2 hours,4 minutes to travel that distance.The timetable also indicates that 59/CONO departs Jackson,MS(milepost 751) at 11:20 A.M. and gets to Hammond,LA(milepost 881) by 1:28 P.M. That is a distance of 130 miles traveled in only 2 hours,8 minutes. This would indicate to me that the HMD-NOL segment includes an awful lot of "padding" built into 59/CONO schedule. Would love to hear comments or feedback on this.
