A disabled freight train blocked the single main. It also impacted 53(16) and 97(16). It may impact 52(17) on the turn.

52(17) bought it on the turn. It departed SFA 3'44"late. However, it arrived LOR 2'28" down. 53(18) should depArt in a reasonable amount of time.

So 52 has at least 1:16 padding --- interesting. It is really strange how a single track setup causes all these delays. Just taking freight train delays cascading down from this disablement would think that CSX costs to other freight trains would be $100,000 delay costs ? It is too bad that the "A" line was single tracked in the past.

I believe the Auto train has roughly 2 hours of padding. On holidays, it can run +2'15". 53(18) departed LOR 11" down. Not bad.
