  • We were 33 1/2 hours late into Chicago. We would have been passed by the previous days train, if it had not been 12 hours late itself!

  • 33. 5 HOURS?!?!!! wow how long were yall stuck?

  • Train was stuck twice. Once in the Sierra's for almost 19 hours and once in the Rockies.

  • Did you ask to open this window? Nice shot you got.
