It has come up to 10 am MDT, people are milling about the depot and so far no loco has even come out from the house. Wonder what the problems is/are? Just went back to check and 484 just pulled up to the pit.

Sharon,
I don't know what the trouble was but the train finally departed at 10:45. The train was not re-positioned so the first class & parlor car folks had to get dirty shoes.
A week or so before that, the westbound had not arrived by 8pm (10pm EDT when I go to bed) but the equipment was in place the next morning. I learned that there
was a problem with a journal on the engine. I assume it was a hot bearing and I hope it was not on a driver axle, those are hard to repair.
