So far, Amtrak services have gone unhindered by recent debris flows through Glenwood Canyon — and might be a viable alternative for those worried about interstate closures while traveling from Denver to Glenwood Springs.
“We’re in constant communication with Union Pacific who owns the tracks from Glenwood Springs to Denver,” said Marc Magliari, Amtrak spokesman.
“They’re letting us know what the conditions are, but right now we’re operating and we will be as much as possible.”
Magliari said if something occurs where Amtrak cannot operate, ticketed passengers will be notified, sales will be blocked and substitute transportation will be arranged when it’s required and available.
