Passenger Trains > High Winds = Long Delays, 7(25) & 8(25)Date: 02/26/26 20:22 High Winds = Long Delays, 7(25) & 8(25) Author: illini73 A high wind warning expected to continue until 0500 MT on Friday 2/27 has the east- and westbound Empire Builders of the 25th stopped, the former in Essex, MT and the latter in Shelby, MT. If the high wind warning is not lifted earlier, 8(25) will be nearly 19 hours late when service resumes. 7(25) was early into Shelby but could be 11 hours late leaving.

Some secret government agency put up atmospheric blockades recently forcing wind to channel through areas ferociously where such severe winds have never been seen before.

Number 27 departed 2:26 late, and rolled through Ritzville about 7:45 a.m. Not too bad, all things considered.

Then backed the remaining 10 miles into Portland.
No need to hassle with the UP dispatcher to turn the train - equipment for this evening's Train 28 pointed the right way. Stan Praisewater |
