The Coast Starlight is doing awful because of the Pacific Storm during the last week.
The Southbound Starlight which was suppose to get in last night at 9:00PM arrived this evening at 10pm according to Amtrak.com
(25 hours late!)
The CS is turning into the Sunset Limited the last months and if rain is like last year here in California. Amtrak will have serious delays.

There was once instance during the most recent UP service meltdown (9 or 10 months ago) of the Sunset arriving in LAX 43 hours late. I remember it's 'progress' being tracked on the forum.
