Slow orders on the UP tracks have forced the rescheduling. It was consistantly late, and I guess this is permanent enough to warrent a new schedule. Here's what I read on another board..Just Posted on All Aboard:
TEXAS EAGLE SCHEDULE CHANGE OCTOBER 28
DUE TO CONTINUING SLOW ORDERS ON THE UNION PACIFIC, THE
SCHEDULE OF TRAINS 21/421 AND 22/422, THE TEXAS EAGLE, IS
BEING CONSIDERABLY LENGTHENED EFFECTIVE WITH TRAINS 21(28),
421(28), 22(28) AND 422(26, SAS-CHI). THE CHANGES ARE FOR THE
MOST PART SOUTH OF ST. LOUIS, AND ARE AN ATTEMPT TO SHOW TIMES
THAT MORE ACCURATELY REFLECT ACTUAL OPERATING CONDITIONS.

DP LVW 1030A, 1'55" LATER; DP DAL 205P, 2'10" LATER;
