Has anybody heard what the status is of the California Zephyrs since the Iowa floods? I have tried to watch the news on Trains magazine's emails but haven't seen anything about this. I also have checked Amtrak's website and din't find any mention of it either.
In the meantime I think I will use this as an excuse to head over to the BNSF mainlines at about their normally scheduled times and see if they are running.

Just rode the Cal Zep July 9th, it went from Chicago to Ca, no issues. You can see the flooding on the trip. Service was stopped in June for a short time between chicago and Denver.

MY wife yells OVERBOARD whenever i head to the train room!
Steve thats good to hear. I was getting pretty good at hearing the distinctive sound of the Genesis horns versus the freights, but for some reason lately I haven't noticed them. My plans of heading trackside to see if they are running on a normal schedule got sidetracked for today but maybe tomorrow?
Thanks for the reply.
