    SL 2(13) terminated in HOS

    It looks like the Sunset Limited 2(13) is terminated in Houston. Severe flooding of the Sabine River, the TX/LA border, has already closed I-10 and the trains route is just a few miles upstream from the Interstate highway. The next SL westbound, 1(16) is listed as "Sold Out" from NOL to SAS...

    Texas Eagle 22(31) detour

    Amtrak's "Track a Train" shows this morning's TE heading east on the SL route, much the same as a few weeks ago when it detoured through Smithville, Bastrop, and Elgin to get to Taylor. I'd guess the flooding in Austin, once again, has something to do with it. But this time there also is a...
