ALL:

Anyone know what happened to #8/1st? It departed Seattle 3 plus hours late and is now about 13 hours near Fargo, ND. I assume BNSF traffic and dog caught crews or BNSF power on #8.

Lead engine had problems and needed to be replaced in Seattle. The replacement had PTC and loading issues near Everett. I'm not sure for certain but I'm guessing there's now a BNSF unit on point.
