Rock slides -- http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?1,3050513 -- due to rain, slush, and melting snow. For once, no waiting to connect from CZ to CS (#14). I hope there's food for dinner. #50 also getting some rare daylight mileage.
The following day's #5 (dep CHi 4/16) has also encountered a service disruption today (4/17). It reached DEN this morning and then nothing further in the status. Perhaps it has been sent to SLC by the alternate route.
The #6 got to Helper this morning and then nothing more in the status. I don't know what its options are...back up?
trainorders.com has a post that both eastbound and westbound CZs are traveling today on the Wyoming detour, due to many rockslides in Colorado canyons.
And still the snow is falling in the Colorado mountains...
