Some 19/20 years ago we were scheduled to take the Lake Shore Ltd (449) from Springfield, MA to Chicago, IL.
Major heavy snow storm just before our trip.
We got to Spfld station on time to board the train, but 449 was an hour late out of Boston, MA. We got on the train, and had to sit on our luggage in the aisles, cause Amtrak couldn't dig out enough cars to fill the consist.
So we were an hour late at Albany, NY.
Sat at Albany for 9 hours waiting for 49 to arrive from NYC. Snow issues down there, too.
So, we arrived in Chicago, IL some 9-10 hours late (at least we had seats from Albany).
One thing I remember is that I became the car babysitter of a coupla 2 year olds as the Ltd made its way westward.
