Question - latest train you have ever been on?

This just brings up the question for me, what is the latest train that anyone on the board has been a passenger on?

I have a couple - In 1975 riding with my dad we were on the eastbound National Limited (remember that train?). Leaving St. Louis the crew let us know that we would lose about 3 hours during the night because of bad Penn Central track. But we then had a minor derailment of the lead locomotive (an SDP40F, remember those?)near Dayton, OH. We were getting off in Harrisburg, PA and arrived there 8-1/2 hours late.

Second one was a trip from Salt Lake to Fullerton on the Desert Wind in about 1989 or so. Didn't leave SLC until about 6am (scheduled out just after midnight) and arrived in Fullerton 7 hours late.

I have never been on the Empire Builder in the middle of winter but I would guess someone has had a really late trip there.
