Next week I plan to depart Chicago on a trip out to Fullerton, CA on the Chief.

Could any of you who follow train time-keeping regularly tell me what sort of "record" the Chief has had lately arriving into California---just in general.

About how late can I expect to arrive in Fullerton ?

I have plans for the day and hope that there is a "fair" chance the train will not arrive too, too late.

I remember a ride I took on the Chief into L.A. about two years ago when it actually arrived a half-hour EARLY into the city.

This is one of my favorite trains and hopefully I can enjoy a rather "uneventful" trip. I will stay in California for only two nites and take the Chief BACK to Chicago.

.....although , come to THINK about it , is ANY trip on Amtrak lately "UNEVENTFUL" ??

For the past few days it's been anywhere from OT to 3 hrs down. Today's train is listed as OT at Lamy. Gotta love the BNSF! Last time I rode #4, we moved out of LAX OT but fell 2 hrs down hooking up express. Arrived CHI an equal 2 hrs down. My favorite train too and say hello to The Land of Enchantment for me when you go through ok?

You can generally count on the Chief being on time unless weather or mechanical problems interfere.

I have seen it come in late to LAX, but I agree with the other posters above, usually only a couple hours.

BNSF loves those incentive payments from Amtrak for keeping the trains on time!
