I don't know if that's the first time for the Chief going via St Louis but I know of many Amtrak detours. When I was on the Milwaukee, 9&10 plus 7&8 were routed through Madison WI account flooding. When I was on the South Shore the Lake Shore was routed over the interurban to South Bend a couple of times.

Well, today, the guys and I at the Kirkwood Station got a REAL shock. a 5th Amtrak train went through. The Southwest Chief detoured through St. Louis Via the UP. This is the first known incident that the SWC has gone through Kirkwood. Has anyone seen anything like this?
