December 3rd, 2000. A day thatwill live in infamy. Amtrak westbound Southwest Chief #3 was 13 hours late, arriving 30 minutes after Eastbound #4! 3 locomotives broke down at different times, and it rolled into Fullerton with a BNSF HII C44-9W on the point, followed by a BN SD40-2. The first two AMD 103s were not running, but the last two were. It is possible one is supplying the HEP for the train, as 3 of the 4 broke down. An interesting specticle indeed! Cya down the line!

The Southwest Chief, 13 hours LATE?!? UNHEARD OF! Well, it happens...but not very often to this Child of the Super Chief. ------------------ Brent Tidaback, Member #234 BNSF Railfan-to-the Max and a N-Scaler to boot!
