Spring is a month behind in the Upper Midwest, with more snow falling today into tomorrow. The Red River at Fargo is just starting to rise and is forecast to crest near record levels, sometime next week or the week after.
Unless the crest exceeds the record of 40.83 feet set in 2009 the Empire Builder should be able to cross the river, but the tracks between Fargo and Grand Forks will almost certainly be flooded for a time, forcing a bypass of Grand Forks, Devils Lake, and Rugby.
