It sounds like you were on the accursed coast starlate. Back in the day it was routinely 6-12 hours late - so much so that I relied on that fact when booking tickets (no way did I want to get up at 5 AM to catch the Sacramento to San Luis Obispo train).
I thought it had improved since 20 years ago :-\
- bombcar 3y agoIt’s a single track with no other routes available, and corn trains seem to always fall off the tracks. It’s a beautiful ride but on time it is not. Pro tip: bring a pack of cigs even if you’ve never ever smoked in your life. If the train stops in the middle of nowhere because a corn train decided to leave the imposed restrictions of the rails, you will be let off the train, but only if you’re a tobacco addict. You can also sometimes order delivery to a stuck train.
