Southwest Chief discussion 2025

I’m on #4 tomorrow so I’m watching this closely.

Any thoughts on whether it might get canceled?

I’d probably just fly home if necessary, but hoping not to have to.

Summarizing the latest Amtrak alerts at 3pm PDT because they're missing words:

3(13) is reversing direction and will hold ... somewhere ... until the tracks are released.
4(13) is at ABQ but holding there until the tracks are released due to fire activity (and possibly the winds dying down). No ETA.

Someone on Reddit is reporting that the train 3 passengers are getting bussed from Raton to Albuquerque and put on train 4, which will turn and go to LA.

That’s just hearsay though…

Seems that 4(13) left ABQ and 3(13) is back on the move towards ABQ, if Track-a-Train is correct.
