CZ #5 / Iowa tornado damage

[jeffcarp]

Yesterday's (7/28) CZ#5 experienced a service disruption from (what I've heard) a tornado that damaged a freight train on the tracks. I have also though, heard rumors that the tornado damaged the tracks. That has me wondering about our CZ #5 trip from OSC in 2 days.

It is too earlier to know if the 7/29 CZ #5 is rolling out of Chicago today. If it does, I suppose that means the track damage rumor is false.

Anyone know for sure? Was this a one-day problem on 7/28 due to a damaged rail car? Or are we in for continued delays this week?

Thank you.

The last 2 days the #5 has been 12 hours late into Denver from Chicago. Overall, the delays have been modest lately(2 hours or so). Anyone know what is going on? We are supposed to leave tomorrow. I thought the major delays on this route were on the UP portion west of Denver.
