Stampede Pass CLOSED

Sounds like there was major damage to a snow shed on Stampede, apparently the has been zero traffic now for a couple of days.

The only snowsheds on Stampede are on either end of the two tunnels around the summit. Would you happen to know which one it was?

Large rockslide took out the snowshed at tunnel 4. Working on clearing the track and hillside stabalization currently. A lot of large boulders and such came down and sitting on top of the shed. Right now it is a tentative 24-72 hour closure but considering it has already been 24 hours....

Did anything go through the snowshed roof?

Or is everything just fine and we'll push that off later?

Yeah quite a bit came through the shed. Not sure what they repaired however, I won't know until I go over the line, hopefully in the daylight. First train has been called to head up the line.
