Ah that explains it. Hopefully not too late tomorrow morn - I'm catching it for a conference in LA.
 
Aaaaaand it's going to be over six hours late coming into Barstow. At least my hotel said they'd hold my room.
 
Yay, I'm logged in!

It's things like this delay that makes me scratch my head when people say the Chief has the most consistent on time record.

I dunno. I've not done an exhaustive study, checking every day, but the SWC has posted some whopping late arrivals to Barstow from Chicago over the last few years. Once, a friend from ABQ was coming in for her father's funeral, and the engine apparently just fell apart and she had to stay at a hotel for half a day.Fortunately she arrived some hours before the service, but still.

I'm taking the train because I don't want to deal with the Cajon Pass and LA drivers.
 
The fact that we collectively consider lateness of the SWC news worth posting here perhaps is a testimony to its normal OTP. "The exception proves the rule."

Take care
