Empire Builder Service Disruption (eastbound)

[lyke99]

I see that the eastbound Empire Builder left Grand Forks 17 minutes late this morning, but suffered a service disruption before reaching Fargo. Anyone know what happened?

#8 was rerouted onto the BNSF between St. Paul and Chicago today due to flash flooding along the CP tracks in Wisconsin. Not sure why status updates stopped after Grand Forks, as the train made it into MSP without incident...

It is possible that the reroute was canceled because #8 arrivals are now showing normally, including those on the CP in Wisconsin.
