Those of you who woke up this morning wondering how Amtraks 7 and 8 dropped off the status map between Spokane and Libby, here's an update. At 7:25am Pacific Time, No.7 is moving past a 5mph slow order near Algoma, Idaho, (that's just south of Sandpoint). No word whether he'll continue on past Spokane or be bustituted. Believe I just heard something about a recrew coming to No.8 in the same vicinity. BNSF at this time has no service notification relating to this, so I don't know whether it's a track problem or derailment.
