I am taking 371 from HOL to Chi tomorrow (Thu), then 421 to Dallas. I called Amtrak and they said didn't have any info on 421 yet, but to check tomorrow. Anyone know more about what is happening with the route? Any advice for me?

I am also very interested in the status, as I am on #421 next Tuesday (5/3) CHI-FTW and #22 next Wednesday (5/4) FTW-CHI. AGR just let me redeem a bedroom this afternoon (4/27) for #421, so I am very interested in the current and future status.

With a levee break just south of the station (and very near the tracks) and another potential break north of town (and along the tracks), it doesn't look promising!

Is there a potential detour route around PBF?

Wow, it's kind of amazing that the Texas Eagle is up and running, given all the flooding! I hope the Missouri/Arkansas/Mississippi area stops getting flooding rains soon - awful for all the folks who live there.

I have a vested interest in seeing the floods go away b/c I have tickets for 5/16 and have already decided I will be canceling if they want to do a bustitution or something. Been there, done that, decided I'm too old for it now.

There are hurricane disruptions on the Sunset route every year as well (with the train often terminating in Houston, or even, gee, San Antonio).

Really? Show me the proof of this. I live in Houston by the way.

I'm pretty sure Trogdor has his facts straight. Although I'm not sure how he'd go about proving it.
