Hi,
My 18 year old son was waiting at the West Glacier station for the train last night, train pulls up, stops for a few seconds and off it goes. It was running about 40 min. late. He was there, made eye contact with the conductor when he looked out, saw 'green lights come on like doors were gonna open' and then it pulled away. When he phoned me I could hear the train, within a couple minutes or so a freight train came by he said it was on the same tracks. He had tickets for his segment with that time, date, and train. Like 25 degrees out, nothing open for 15 miles, had to sleep under a picnic table.
Haven't called Amtrak yet. Biggest concern is that he can get on the next train thru, since they can't print tickets at this station which is only open for a couple hours. And now all his segment tickets are 24 hours later. He's going to the coast then all the way down to Yuma, AZ
Other than that you would think they'd be a bit more concerned when they know there's a passenger to pick up in an isolated area. Resorts, gas station, cafe, all closed for the season. Nothing open to get in out of the cold.
