Not a great start to the flip of equipment today for Amtrak between the Texas Eagle and the Capitol Limited.
Westbound Capitol arrived into Chicago at 11:02am, 2 hours and 2 minutes late.
This provided just 53 minutes for the "flip".
Obviously that did not happen and the westbound Texas Eagle left over 1 hour late this afternoon.
It looks like the crews in St. Louis took the full two hours or more to turn the northbound Eagle this morning -- with the train sitting in STL from 7:46am to 9:43am.

A tad better than 21(28), but wow... the departure time of 21 is going to be abysmal in the weeks and months ahead.
