We are traveling Austin to OKC and returning, Wednesday northbound and Satuday southbound. If anything unusual or interesting on either the Eaglette or the Heartland Flyer occurs I will dutifully report.

I assume the HF comments are welcome here, correct?

Note that train 22 cancelled out of San Antonio this morning. Anticipation of terrible weather up north?

Yes, they're expecting an ice storm south of Chicago.

It appears the 3rd 21/22 coach has been dropped post holiday rush. So the current trains are at 5 cars and 7 on 421/422 days south of STL and the extra coach is still running CHI-STL.

21 was canceled last night in STL and today's 22 is canceled at SAT.

Is the Eagle running with a transdorm
normally now?

 

[frequentflyer]

Today's 22 out of SAT is apparently cancelled too.

No, 2 Sleepers on 421/422 Days , but still No Sightseer Lounge and Flex Meals in the CCC.

Damn. Sorry for the people in LA. I have a TE trip in a month going to LA to visit Hollywood Hills. Im wondering if I should cancel. Dont know how long this fire will continue. My friend lives next to LAX and he says there is smoke everywhere. I need to start making other plans and see what's up in a week. Just venting.

You might want to consider visiting San Diego or the Bay Area if you're going for sightseeing.

Lots of LA, including Hollywood and other Tourist attractions,, are like a War Zone right now, and it will take years to rebuild.

And the Fires aren't over yet, a New one started today.
