In plain English, jackal says "NO"!

Headwind or tailwind dies not affect Amtrak. However, lateral wind speeds may stop a train - for safety reasons! I have been on a few trains where the crew and dispatchers have stopped the train if the winds were too high (We were held until the winds had either died down or it was determined that there was no danger.) While the train may not blow over, trees and other obstacles may blow onto the tracks!
