HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The winter weather over the weekend made for a long wait for Amtrak passengers heading east in Kansas Monday morning.
While trains kept running, the winter weather forced speed restrictions for the Southwest Chief. The line operated by BNSF also suffered several signal malfunctions due to the cold and snow in Arizona and New Mexico.
The Chief rolled into Hutchinson Monday morning about seven hours late. Fortunately, the lobby of the Hutchison station is open so passengers can go inside if needed.
