Last Summer, i rode the Auto Train to FL, and train 53 was about 1 1/2 hrs late departing Lorton because the cab signal was not working, the had to turn the trailing unit so that it was facing forward.
My questions are,
1. Why is it not legal to operate without a cab signal, if there are signals on the Main Line and
2. Why didnt they test this while the train was sitting in the station instead of discovering this after the train was pulling out onto the main line, and delaying the train?\
Im riding this train again on easter sunday, any thoughts about these cab signals?
