Thanks to United Airlines cancelling my morning flight to Denver, I was able to catch a 5 hour late Amtrak 3, the westbound Southwest Chief led by P42DC 160, wearing the carrier's "Pepsi Can" scheme in honor of Amtrak's 50th Anniversary in 2021. So, thanks, United ... If you weren't having a meltdown this morning, I would have missed this train! And I still got to Denver, but much later than we'd planned.
