Wow. There's a lot of ways this could have turned out much, much worse.
Good thing the Sunset Ltd. with its Superliner Cars wasn't crossing the Huey Long! As was said, it could have been much worse!

My cousin in NOL says that she was at an office with no windows, so she didn't see it, but 111 MPH winds were reported.

Occasionally the Empire Builder is halted due to high wind advisories in the Rockies. This just goes
to show the justification for that. I wonder, though, if the railroad in this case had received warning of potential
high winds prior to sending the train across?
