Received texts, email’s, and robocall this morning that the train would be delayed departing until 11:00 AM, due to “late operation’s”....
Last email simply said the train was delayed, with “no other train leaving New Orleans today”.
That sounded ominous, so I called them, and the agent said the ETD is still 11:00.
When I asked if no time could mean it could be cancelled, she said no...at least not so far....it is still estimated to depart at 11:00.
Train 19(10) did not arrive until 4:17 AM, so I am assuming the delay might be for crew rest (8 hours off?)...I don’t think it would take them that long to turn and service the train.
To be continued...
