I can only speak from my experience. My wife and I took the empire builder last month from Milwaukee to Seattle (and back). It was my observation that BNSF put most of their freights in the siding for us both ways. The only exception to that was when we were near Seattle, where we had to wait for a couple of freights to clear the station area. <br /> <br />On the CPRail portion of the trip, I observed freight trains wating in sidings for #8 to pass. <br /> <br />We took the Southwest Chief east bound from LA to Chicago 2 years ago. I did not observe any delays from UP feight trains. In fact, we arrived in Chicago ON TIME. <br /> <br />I have read all the horror stories about late trains, and I guess I've been lucky.
