I'll hopefully be traveling to Arizona in January via the Texas Eagle/Sunset Limited, however I have family in Houston that I'd like to visit as well. So far my itinerary is:
Jan 3
371 Pere Marquette from GRR to CHI
21/421 Texas Eagle from CHI to Longview, TX (arriving Jan 4)
Jan 4
Thruway bus from Longview, TX to Houston, TX
1 Sunset Limited from HOS to TUS
I'm curious as to how on time the TE is when it arrives to Longview, TX as I know the TE is known for being quite late most of the time, and the connection according to Amtrak is less than an hour to the thruway bus. Also if we miss our connection, I assume there is another thruway bus that would leave later? The plan is to spend the day in Houston with my family before boarding the train at like 9-10pm and continuning on the journey to Arizona.
