Well this is no surpise, this is a pretty big storm. I imagine Florida service will be knocked out for a few days to come, possibly even the whole week if damage is severe enough. And I would hope the stations in Florida would be closed and secured !!

As for the Sunset Limited, ahh well it probably would have been so late anyways that they were already planning to turn it in NOL haha!

Going to work tomorrow!

We didn't get hit hard, so I don't expect a crazy day.

The worst I expect is that the ground power is down. Locos were placed on each track to provide power, so work should continue as normal.

I anticipate that trains will be down until the tracks are inspected. This will allow more repairs on the LDT's to be closed out.

I guess it's a "good position to be in!"
