Passenger Trains > Record Flooding Will Likely Affect the CZ in NebraskaDate: 07/08/19 21:42 Record Flooding Will Likely Affect the CZ in Nebraska Author: MSE A major flash flood situation developed over south central Nebraska Monday evening with 10-11" of rain over the Wood River Basin. A record crest, slightly exceeding April's record, is forecast for the town of Elwood and areas a few miles downstream. This will wash out the BNSF Railway which also carries the CZ.

Can’t catch a break on this run!!

Elwood is south of the Platte, so in a separate drainage area, and Amtrak doesn't run on the line through Elwood. #6 just left McCook heading east, though between there and Holdrege it will cross creeks draining some of the heavy rain areas.

Not sure if there is a bus bridge or not. From their Twitter feed: : California Zephyr Train 5 which departed Chicago (CHI) on 7/8 is currently stopped at Lincoln (LNK) due to water reported over the rail. Track inspector en route. We will update as more information becomes available. Same info for 6 but it's at McCook. osted from Android Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 07/09/19 03:07 by MNNRfan. |
