Estimated arrival: on time.
As of the last report at 11:55 AM, at New Orleans, LA, it was running on time.

Keep checking that one as it moves accross Texas. The train to which you refer is actually identified by Amtrak as #1(1).

(1) means it originated on First day of the month. The Sunset originating tomorrow at Orlando will be #1(3).

BTW, good reports the past few days for my granddaughter in Oregon, so I'm planning on the train trip instead of flying.

"To our Sunset Limited Passengers:

Owing to exceptionally heavy freight traffic volume on our host railroad, the Union Pacific, Amtrak must advise its passengers to expect long delays en-route. As such, we cannot guarantee any connections with the Sunset Limited anywhere on its route.

We suggest that passengers continuing their journeys on the Coast Starlight make overnight hotel arrangements at Los Angeles.

We further suggest that passenger departing or being met make use of either our automated telephone Train Status system, "Julie", or the "Check Train Status" feature at our website. Every effort will be made to ensure that these resources are provided with updated information.

We sincerely regret any inconvenience caused to our passengers, but we believe these actions necessary owing to existing operating conditions."

This can't last. I predict they end up taking a wrong turn and next you will see "Train #1 (1) is currently in Chicago, IL and is 18 hours late"
