I took the Empire Builder from Seattle to Chicago on June 13 and we made a weird move at the Cascade Tunnel. After stopping on the main, we were passed by a freight on the siding. After the freight passed, we reversed direction, then proceeded east through the siding, with another freight passing us on the main. Is this a usual move for BNSF? We lost about an hour on the schedule from this move, but that was made up in Spokane. Most of the trip was on time until we ran into more freight delays in ND that had us an hour late in MSP. We arrived in CHI 30 minutes late, which wasn't bad in my opinion.
