California Zephyr
Here is what Amtrak was reporting 4 PM Jan 8th.
The entire routes are not annulled.
The California Zephyr (Trains 5 & 6) ordinarily operates daily between Chicago and the San Francisco Bay area, via Omaha, Denver and Reno. Service is temporarily suspended between Chicago and Denver due to severe weather conditions for westbound trains originating through and including January 10 and eastbound trains originating through and including January 9.
Limited alternate transportation is available between Denver and a connection in southeast Colorado to the Chicago-Los Angeles Southwest Chief (Trains 3 & 4).
Empire Builder
The Empire Builder (Trains 7/27 & 8/28), which ordinarily operates daily between Chicago and Seattle/Portland, via St. Paul, Whitefish, Mont., and Spokane, Wash., is suspended between St. Paul and Seattle/Portland due to severe weather conditions, through and including the trains originating on January 10.
