3. The trains got badly off schedule Tuesday, due to weather.

I had hoped things were back to normal yesterday, then the tracking maps went gerflunken and I had a supposed emergency with my housemate's car at the dentist. I had to go check out her car because she said people were honking at her like something was wrong, and her seat got really hot (it was overcast). It had plenty of oil and coolant, the belts were fine, it sounded fine and I followed her to see if it looked funny, and saw nothing unusual. By the time I got back there was no way to catch up to the Keystones, and I even went to bed early. Damn if we didn't have a spectacular thunderstorm this morning at 3 am to wake everybody up.

98 might be the worst train to follow without a tracking map. It is always one of the latest trains in the country! LOL!

I can't get into Twitter anymore, so I can't scope out Amtrak's alerts. mahatmakanejeeves Aug 2023 #8
