Amtrak service in
Montana, three
other states,
canceled because of
flooding

@#$%& LAKE, N.D. (AP) — Amtrak officials
say flooding in separate areas of northern
North Dakota has forced a temporary
shutdown of passenger rail service
between St. Paul, Minn., and Spokane,
Wash., including all service in the state of
Montana.

The company said Wednesday two bridges
are threatened because of rising water in
the @#$%& Lake basin, and the rail station in
Minot was closed after water flooded the
basement.

Amtrak has canceled service through
Thursday in North Dakota, Montana, Idaho
and Minnesota, except in St. Paul. Further
updates will be made available later
Wednesday, Amtrak spokesman Marc
Magliari said.

“Some of this will depend on the wave
action on @#$%& Lake,” Magliari said. “But
the local flooding in Minot is an issue, even
if the wind settles down on @#$%& Lake.”

BNSF Railway owns the tracks on which
Amtrak’s Empire Builder line runs. Magliari
said railway officials are inspecting the
bridges and rail bed near Churchs Ferry.

About 10,000 people living near the Souris
River in Minot have been ordered to
evacuate, mostly as a precaution. The
Souris River runs near the recently
renovated Amtrak station in Minot, Magliari
said.

“According to what local authorities have
told us, the river will overtake the general
area of the station sometime later today,”
he said Wednesday.

Amtrak is refunding fares for canceled
service. Tickets hold their cash value for a
year, Magliari said.
