Zephyr "Issues" Timeline

Is there any idea when the Missouri River is likely to go down and the Zephyr will start running normally again?

Please don't take this wrong, but, I don't think man has much control on what a river, aka mother nature, does. Remember the

True, true...but at the same time, a lot of these floods tend to spend a lot of time "going through the system", as big "blobs" of water don't disappear overnight. So I didn't know if there was any indication which way the water was likely to be going.

Basically, I'm trying to decide between "rare" (for now) mileage on the SWC and hoping for the Missouri River to go down on the CZ.

Missouri River will take a long time going down, and indeed will continue to rise for the next week or so. The CZ may get back in action before then, however. Right now the tracks are shut down as crews scramble to raise the railbed and build levees. If that work succeeds I wouldn't be surprised if the CZ resumes service in the next week.
