Bill, thanks for doing this! Much appreciated. Glad somebody is taking the reins and will see it through. Hopefully the weather and forest fire conditions won't affect this train between now and our travel dates. #3 looks very good in the percentage of trains that arrive in ABQ on time or early. We're not in much of a hurry the day we arrive, other than getting dinner before the sidewalks are rolled in. #4 is not as encouraging; quite a few of its delays were quite severe. So far only one person plans a same-day eastward connection from #4 to an east coast train, but it's the Lake Shore Ltd. whose departure is later than the others.
