Apparently there was a fire near the BNSF Scenic sub which caused a closure:

ALL:

#8 of the 23rd departed Seattle on time and is now running 8 hours late. As I write this note, it should be near St. Cloud, MN for a crew change.

What happened between Everret and Leavenworth to cause the train to be eight hours late?
