Okay, this sounds odd, but something is causing delays for the Texas Eagle between Mcgregor and Cleburne on the BNSF line for several days now. Well, more accurately, every other day, the Texas Eagle is snagged by a one hour delay in that area. Sometimes there's no delay, and one day it was delayed 5 hours on train 21 of (6/2).

Interestingly, some days show no status for the stations between Fort Worth and Taylor. I'm not sure if the status maps are messing up or if the Texas Eagle detoured on the UP line between Fort Worth and Temple.

So what's going on? Derailments, train interference? I think it's track work and slow orders. But I have no idea due to inconclusive information.

Anyone know what's been going on this June on the BNSF line?

Is the Texas Eagle detouring between Fort Worth and Temple? If so, I'd love to catch that rare mileage.
