On the way back from Chicago this morning: 3 hour delay. I really couldn't be unhappy about a delay since anyone traveling by air probably would have had a worse time. Not a whole lot of information given but something about the engine being frozen for Train 350. People with smartphones were checking the website for updates but apparently there wasn't any further information. I had already told the kids to use the facilities in the station to prepare for frozen bathrooms being out of service, but the engine was kind of a no-go item. So finally we were heading out to board and the station employee said something about Train 303 and I said we were on 350... she kind of grinned and said, "That's the next one to be delayed... this is exactly how yesterday started out." I couldn't help but think it was bound to get worse later, given what is forecast to start happening in terms of temps. Then as we were walking out to the track, what sight do we behold but a Superliner... on the Wolverine! I couldn't believe our good fortune. The coaches on the LD train are so beyond comfortable. And the heat works. The seatback pocket had the diner menu for the Empire Builder... which then made me wonder, with that equipment was running the Michigan train... what they were going to do for this afternoon's EB.
