I can find info yet on the eastbound “Southwest Chief” that left Los Angeles Friday afternoon. I’m on a phone.

Edit: it never left Los Angeles. It was cancelled.

Additional editing: the westbound “Southwest Chief” that left Chicago on Friday afternoon made it as far as Albuquerque before it too was cancelled.
