Train Attendant
So I am taking the Empire Builder tomorrow from Red Wing, MN to Wisconsin Dells, WI for a short trip to get one of the people in my family to get some bonus points for guest rewards through a referral. I checked the status on the unofficial "status maps" site, and noticed that it is scheduled 7 hours late to the next station (GGW). I called Amtrak and they said it was because of a broken axle derailment on a bnsf train with 7 - 10 hour delays for all other trains. My question is: will the train actually be able to make up time in order to give us a halfway decent departure time from Red Wing? Amtrak gave me only a canned response. Also, can I view BNSF info for status anywhere? All I can find is something on the BNSF website from last month about new mexico derailment.
Thanks!
Thanks!
