[quote user="Expresslane"]  Great news. My mother inlaw is coming to visit and she is taking the Southwest Chief from Kansas City. I know about the flooding and all but do they run this train on time or can I expect the train to be late and how late. We are going to pick her up in Naperville IL. If the train is late how about train watching here?[/quote]Over the last 12 months the Southwest Chief has met the advertised into Chicago 62.5 per cent of the time.  May 2008 was not so good.  It only met the schedule 29 per cent of the time.  Yesterday, for example, the train arrived in Naperville at 9:51 p.m., as opposed to its scheduled arrival time of 2:44 p.m.  Today the train information is not available due to operating constraints, which probably means that Amtrak and BNSF are still working out the kinks associated with re-opening the route after the flooding.  If momma is coming in a couple of days, she may be delayed.  If she is coming in a week or so, the railroad and Amtrak should be back to normal.  In any case, you can check on the status of the train by going to <a href="http://www.amtrak.com/">http://www.amtrak.com/</a> and filling in the information on the train status window, which is located near the bottom of the home page.  You can also check the historical arrival statistics by clicking on the line 'Historical on Time Performance'.
