Northbound Amtrak Texas Eagle Train #22 |
Description: |
The train rolled into Poplar Bluff at 6:21 A.M., 6 hours and 10 minutes late with Gary Weatherly as the Conductor and Dan Kelly as the Assistant Conductor. I rode the Train #422 Section of it this trip. The train screeched to a halt and Dennis and Betty Glaze who were also riding the train boarded. Dennis and Betty were scheduled to leave tomorrow, but left today due to frequent Eagle Delays, good move! |
