Gee doesn't that sound familiar? At least their ineptness is consistent. Has anyone told the yard people that trains are scheduled to leave every day the same time from Chicago?Still here in Chicago. 5 is delayed 45 minutes to a hour due to issues in the yard. They were still putting the train together.

Good luck. Right now you are about as late as our version of #5 was, but your issue sounds like it could take more time. We did sit in Grand Junction ourselves inexplicably for an hour after crew announced it would be a 10-minute stop. Fuel leak sounds more serious, although you're almost done with the Rockies but still have the Cascades ahead. So after not having an engine ready to go in time for the 2 PM Chicago departure, it appears they sent out a bad one. Does your train have any private cars on the rear?
Yes 2 of them. One of the locos Is a p40.
