Journey from Niagara Falls to Buffalo
20th September 2007
We were
scheduled to travel from Niagara Falls to Buffalo Depew where we would change to
the overnight New York to Chicago service. All services appeared to be running
to time apart from an eastbound freight which failed in the platform line until
the evening when eastbound freights started to stack up and our train showed a
delay of a few minutes which then started to increase. Although the line is
quadruple through Buffalo it becomes single further east and it transpired that
a train had collided with a road vehicle on a crossing in that area with our
train stopped the other side. This was not good news as we had to make a
connection in Chicago with the South West Chief to get to Santa Fe. It
eventually turned up some time after midnight, several hours late.
