Update:
On Thursday, March 16th, 2017 at 13:00 p.m. CST, we received a preliminary report of multiple land slides near Katka, Idaho. Katka, Idaho is approximately 123 miles northeast of Spokane, Washington. The estimated time for opening of the main track is Friday, March 17th, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. CST.

No. 7 holding at Whitefish and No. 8 at Spokane. IF they don't bus-bridge, Builder passengers will get to see some spectacular scenery in daylight that is normally transited at night.
