Midland Valley
Lead Service Attendant
If the reason that the westbound SWC is so late in departing Chicago, (anywhere from 2-5 hours late) is because of the extremely late arrival times of #29, why don't they just overnight both trains and let the Chief be the Chief and the Capitol Limited be the Capitol Limited so they don't have to ball up hundreds of people for hours. I can see waiting an hour or so for people to make connections, but 5 hours, that cheats people out of a decent evening meal on the Chief. I can't eat supper at 9:00 pm and then hope to get any sleep.
