A Very Late Sunset
The eastbound Sunset Limited is, on paper, to arrive into Houston just after 11 AM. And yet, here we are at 10 PM as Train #2 passes Chaney Jct just west of the Amtrak depot.
After running the standard Amtrak hour or so late at San Antonio, a massive PSR manifest broke a knuckle in front of #2 between San Antonio and Houston. After the several hours to fix that mess, plus negotiating the resulting traffic jam, now Amtrak is 11 hours late. It would pull into New Orleans nearly 10 & a half hours behind schedule.
