I have been watching the status of train 7/27 on the Amtrak Status-West map. A Service Disruption tag just popped up. The status link on amtrak.com also indicated service disruption.
I just spoke with the Select Plus reservation line. They told me that there is a rockslide (boulders) near West Glacier and that they have backed the train up to Essex to evaluate the situation. The tracks are damaged.
I am told that they may cancel the train or do a Spokane/PDX and Spokane/SEA bustitution. That is always fun when you have a sleeper ticket. That puts a crimp in my San Francisco holiday plans.
I would assume that this could also affect tonight's 8/28.
The accuracy of this report is subject to the accuracy of what I was told by Select Plus. If you are booked on these trains, verify for yourself.
