In comparison with the Amtrak cancellations, I wonder about the status of the highways paralleling the Empire Builder route, specifically US 2 and Interstate 90.  I remember spending some time on business trips to Denver during various winters past and hearing radio announcements about Vail Pass on I-70 being closed during heavy snowstorms.  I even remember some of our major snowstorms right here in the Mid-Atlantic, when the governor of Maryland closed all of the highways for a day or two so that the plows could clear the roads.  (Of course, this was only of academic interest to me, as Baltimore City took several days to get a snowplow down our side street, so I was stuck in the house whether the roads were open or not.)
