Flash flood between Lamy and abq?

There is a post on train orders that this occurred on Friday and that a bus bridge was used. There is no service disruption on Amtrak's website for today's 3 into Abq. I'm posting from iPhone and was unable to post a link to train orders.

Considering our weather reports that a serious storm is coming in from the east I am not suprised.

3 is now showing no status for arrival into abq.

From NM Rail Runner:

All Weekend Train Service (8/1/15 - 8/2/15) Cancelled Due to Flash Flood

(Updated– August 1, 2015 at 8:45 a.m.) – A flash flood swept through parts of Sandoval County on the evening of Friday, July 31. This flood washed out about 100-feet of railroad track on the north side of Arroyo Maria Chavez, just north of the town of Algodones between 6:30 and 7:00 p.m. Due to this severe weather event, all Rail Runner service has been suspended for the entire weekend as crews work to re-stabalize the ground beneath the damaged track. We expect to have all repairs made in time for regular service on Monday morning.

On Friday night, a bus bridge was set up between the Sandoval County/US 550 Station in Bernalillo and the Santa County/NM 599 Station. Passengers on the last train train of the night leaving Santa Fe were also bussed from the Santa Fe Depot to Bernalillo before catching a train to continue south. We would like to thank our passengers for their cooperation and patience on Friday night as we were focussing on getting everyone to their destinations safely

Thank you for the update. I'm onboard 3 waiting for departure from Chicago. I'm glad there will be no bus bridge.
