While trying and trying to get on the phone with Amtrak this morning, when I finally got thru a recorded voice said the agents were very busy with an increase in calls due to bad weather. I hadn't heard about any train delays and I still haven't.
So I searched and came across a couple of news items regarding possible future flooding and preparation for it in North Dakota. Seems there's still a lot of snow around, later than normal, and if heavy Spring rains happen they're afraid of flooding. I wonder if people have been canceling and/or rebooking because of this?
Here's a news item about Devils Lake ND possible flooding and Amtrak.
Story here.
And here's a related story 2 days later.
Here's a general FEMA warning.
Let's hope it won't become a major problem, for Amtrak or the population.
