That'll be interesting. I went a couple of months ago and even though we didn't encounter any significant oil traffic, we still ended up a couple of hours late on the extended schedule - so about 5 hours late had we been running to the original schedule.

Amtrak recently supplied me these slightly more in-depth schedules which may be of interest to some. They show scheduled arrival times at every station, not just key stations, and show passing times at certain key locations.

Trains 7/27:

Trains 8/28:

That's interesting, Geoff. I didn't know the location Wishram and Bingen-White Salmon, WA. I did find White Salmon on the map.

The only positive thing I can say about the interim schedule is that it got 8/28 into Spokane at a reasonable time.
