FRANCONIA, Ariz. — Flash flooding is making for major delays for Amtrak in Arizona. The eastbound Southwest Chief was stranded in Franconia, Arizona, for most of the night and into Thursday morning because of a track washout.

As of Thursday afternoon, the train was more than 12- hours behind, but trains are moving again through the area. At last check, the train is scheduled to arrive in Hutchinson around 12 p.m., more than 10-hours late. With train traffic backed up because of flooding, the train could lose more time.

Passengers boarding in Hutchinson tomorrow, or those waiting for passengers to arrive, should keep advised of the delay on amtrak.com.
