Passenger Trains > 14(1)Date: 12/02/12 08:13 14(1) Author: Ptolemy 14(1) seems to be stuck between DUN and KFS. Anyone know why?
Date: 12/02/12 08:34 Re: 14(1) Author: coaststarlight99 I don't have any info, however, here on the west coast (especially in the area where it seems stuck), we are getting MASSIVE rain right now. It's been going on all night. It wouldn't surprise me if there are flooding issues or mud slides up there.
Date: 12/02/12 08:40 Re: 14(1) Author: Railbaron Looks like about 3 hours delay between Silverthorn and O'Brien due to code line failure and flash flood warnings - shows getting to Dunsmuir at 0841.
Date: 12/02/12 08:41 Re: 14(1) Author: AlbinaRunThrough Per the crew there's major flooding issues, slides, power outages, and restrictions between Redding and Dunsmuir. There will supposedly be a re-crew of 14 between Dunsmuir and Klamath Falls.
