The 22 of the 5th is 9 plus hours late and isn't to Springfield, IL, yet. Ouch.

I did mean to say Amfleet. I guess I wasn't awake enough!

Today's 302 had a Charger on each end, a Viewliner, and 8 Venture cars. Does anyone know why it had an almost double consist? I assume this is because 300 did not run today (reason reported was mechanical issues).

21 (1) WAS 4 hours 39 minutes late at Cleburne. 22 (2) showed black and 3 hours 53 minutes late at Cleburne but now doesn't show on the map.

#22 past Saint Louis this morning has two units, so I guess this is a permanent thing.

21/22 have had two locomotives the last few days. I wonder what's up with that? Do they finally have enough Chargers onboard that the Eagle now gets two P42s again?

Today's southbound Eagle has shown speeds as high as 96 MPH on the tracker.

Today's 21 was 5 1/2 hours late departing Chicago.  Does anyone know what happened?

I see that 22 coming to Chicago is almost 7 hours late. It was late out of the gate in Texas, and things have progressively gotten worse. Does anyone know what happened?

I heard that the trackwork is in Louisiana, not Illinois.

The current service disruptions are due to trackwork-related detours in Texas.

The CONO was being turned at Jackson because of the trestle fire between there and New Orleans.

The CHI-STL track work will have the Eagle on the eastern detour tomorrow and Tuesday.

I was going to ask the same question. When leaving St. Louis today I noticed that the 22 and 301 were passing each other on the MacArthur Bridge.

Amtrak 391 (also in Illinois) had a CN unit leading for part of its journey south and then for its journey north as 392 today. It is uncommon, but it does happen.
