This happened at 10:35 am this morning. Looks like #1 departed NOL ontime at 9:00 and crosses this bridge a few minutes later as it leaves the city. Looks like it is sitting still west of the bridge and not scheduled to arrive into Schriever until 1:46 pm, over 3 hours late. Thank goodness this wasn't the Sunset Limited. It was also crossing the bridge as the storm approached the area.
