Significant tropical system situation will persist till Wednesday with historic amounts of rainfall. Anything working as planned in the area appears somewhat iffy this coming Thursday.
There is an evacuation train from Galveston operated by BNSF for the Galveston Rail museum. It has two Santa Fe painted F7 locomotives and I believe four passenger cars leaving the island. But an important note about this train. It is carrying NO PASSENGERS.
No word of notice for me? I'm booked for #422 in "the future" (few months out). If they put "sold out" for 1/2 and 421/422 for the forseeable future, I should have known about this by now.
If you're booked a few months out, why would you expect to hear anything?
You do know this is because of the hurricane? It has no effect on any service "a few months out."
The rainfall totals for Austin and SAT are to be heavy with flash flooding possible with road closures.. If the rails can't be safely checked, maybe that's the wisest preemptive option.
It's raining there (SAS) now, with more than a foot on the way?
Wet. Unless they paid for the indoor parking, in which case.... dry.
They supposedly evac'ed the Galveston Railroad Museum rolling stock, so it didn't get Iked again.
Until the garage floods.
I would think they would at least run it to FTW, preserving northbound connections from the Heartland Flyer.
Until the garage floods.
