All of the reasons given for the quick cancellation of #6 are valid, but let me add another. With the current state of litigation in this country, UP probably has orders from the legal dept. not to put any of Amtrak's trains in any kind of situation that is more risky than normal.

Remember also that last winter #6 derailed a car up on the Hill and was stuck for many hours until they could tow the equipment back down the hill. This probably made the legal eagles even more cautious.
