JC UPTON Aboard Train 5; over 1 hour out from station; less than 1 mile..... Freight roads (both) UP & BNSF dispatchers "mis-communicating" for an event that is scheduled every day at the same. time.... Currently waiting for a "wind turbine ?special?" blocking our exit through the yards?!?!?!
Back home after a wonderful trip. The delay leaving finally cleared after two (2) hours....
Cause(s):
1. A S/B "unit" train full of Wind Turbine parts blocking CZ5's exit from area just north of Denver Union Station...
2. A N/B maintence-of-way train (ballast laying) train blocking the wind turbine train's path south.....
Once BNSF & UP dispatchers got everything sorted out & we were moving again, we had sa 2 hoour delay...
One nice part of the journey was the snow shower duting the approaches to East Portal.... :-))
