Anyone know what's up with the southbound CS? Last 3 days it limped into LA 6 hours, 48 minutes late, 4 hours, 17 minutes late and 3 hours, 54 minutes late.
 
I don't know, but I hope my southbound trip in December, which requires a connection to the Pacific Surfliner, goes smoothly. These last few days haven't made me so confident that it will work out perfectly.
 
I thought it was scheduled track work by UP that took hours longer than expected but others should know for sure.
 
Our 11.10 N/B CS was an hour late getting into SAC, and 6.5 hours late into SEA on 11.11.

A tunnel was closed for the night for track work somewhere before Dunsmuir. Once open we sat there while six freights and CS #11 went S/B. I later heard

while sitting out in the middle of the nothing, they let coach passengers out trackside for fresh air and smoking.

Our train crew timed-out at Dunsmuir.
