Any one know why?  It appears that the train has not left Miami.

Also, on 11/15, #97 was later than usual arriving Washington; something must have caused a delay out of Baltimore.  Then, the train was very late leaving Washington.  Any one know why about this?
 
It appears that 92 has not departed from Miami either.  It looks like all 4 Silvers are in Service Disruption.

I have no idea why.

I heard from someone who heard from someone who heard from someone that the CSX derailment was caused by PTC throwing a false switch alert and putting the train in emergency. OUCH!
