It looks like last night's #3 was towed back by a BNSF engine to ABQ early in the morning. It went through Gallup about 4am.

Initial reports said it might be a hazardous spill, but later reports say the tankers were carrying corn syrup.

The Chief has a disruption due to a washout in Arizona near the California border (between Kingman and Needles). Last night's trains terminated at Winslow (#3) and Barstow (#4). Today's #3 will terminate in Albuquerque, and become tomorrow's #4. BNSF is expecting to get one track open tomorrow.

No, it's not. Newport to Spokane is abandoned.

There should be zero freights. There was track work going on a few months ago, but I don't know if it's still an issue.

I have seen ICE take people off the Sunset Limited in Del Rio, TX. I have not been personally questioned, though.

So sorry to see this. This is the location: https://goo.gl/maps/RLNkzHmcYqHSGgxX9

Ok, I'm late replying. But it doesn't -- it has to be in an area where a person checks your ID first.

Based on this news report, this is the bridge that burned near La Junta on the SWC's route.

The RoadRunner website indicates no longer do hotel stops other than a few specific resorts.

Really, the only thing that makes sense is that the brakes were stuck on and they couldn't get them to release. Otherwise, they should have been able to tow it to a station.

There was another collision with a garbage truck very close to here back in October.

Even back in the day, you weren't totally unplugged. I remember when you got a morning newspaper in the sleepers.

The wheelchair lift was out at Flagstaff tonight for #3, so it's definitely there and working. It was for a person not in a wheelchair but who couldn't manage the steps.

I was at the station back in November, and there's a wheelchair lift there. I also saw on the camera recently where they used a ramp to have a wheelchair passenger come out for a smoke.

Southwest Chief #3 is cancelled for Saturday 1/15, and #4 for Sunday 1/16.

#3/#4 for today are cancelled.

You can definitely be banned from future travel if you bail out at an unauthorized place. Opening the door when it says not to breaks the "Who refuse to comply with safety or security rules or with instructions of Amtrak personnel" term. Arrest? Probably not, though it's technically trespassing...

My experience is that the temperature knob only controls a baseboard heater by the window. The heat comes out of the holes under the window. So this means: It only works if the heater is activated and working. They seem to deactivate them in warm weather, and even if it's cold you can't rely on...

Looks like the next day EB is only two hours behind it.
