48/448 was running on time from Chicago to Buffalo Depew but it was delayed in leaving there. Rochester station staff had everyone on the platform 10 minutes before train time. It got into ROC 10 am and with us aboard we left 10:10 AM, 17 minutes down.
We have 6 people today with one who came from Chicago on this train joining us.

We arrived ALB 50 minutes late, and station work ensued. There was the opportunity to perhaps make some time back, but we left at 3:54 PM, 49 minutes off the advertised.
Normal slow running on curvy track southeast of Albany plus the expected meet with #449 put us over an hour late into Pittsfield. We expect to arrive Springfield around 6:45 or so.

Arrival into Springfield was 6:46 PM. 1 hour 18 minutes late. Then we had misfortune of no large hired cars and too long to wait for smaller cars. After walking to other side of the building, took a free Loop bus which got us right to our hotel. Day ended with all 6 of us at Uno restaurant next to Hilton Garden Inn where 5 of the 6 of us are staying.
