EB * Delays West of Devil's Lake

[EB_OBS]

They wouldn't let anyone off the train in Minot even though we were there for so long because only the conductor could authorize that and we didn't have a conductor on duty. Folks weren't very happy about that and the smokers were getting really antsy.

Currently, absolutely no one, not even the conductor, is to allow anyone off the train at Minot. The OBS crews have also been ordered to remain on the train and in fact are supposed to be ensuring that no doors open and nobody attempts to get off the train in Minot.

The Amtrak Central and Pacific Northwest Divisions issued this bulletin and it remains in effect until repairs are made to the platform at Minot.
