I hope I didn't imply that with my Fort Morgan advice. For interest sake if nothing else, i always check the status before I retire of a long distance train that I'm catching the next day. In your case, Omaha departing at 11:05PM would be it. For quite a while, if the CZ lost time on the BNSF, it would usually be in Iowa, not Nebraska. But with the BNSF funk drifting south, who knows!
Trains can make up some time, but I doubt anything like 6 hours.
