Re: The WORST trip you've ever taken

Took Amtrak's COAST DAYLIGHT, lost the first SDP before Salinas due to bad fuel, the 2nd south of SLO. Rescued, by a pair of U-33s and the crew did not make it to Santa Barbara. Waited 4 hours at Surf for a new crew, no AC running, conductor would not try to get the 'ice engine' working so we sat and sweated all day, got to LAX at midnight.

Remember this trip as we rec'd orders to run 4 hours late, then 7 hours late. Interesting from a trainorders perspective, horrible as for a rider, as after 5pm no food or drinks.
