Thursday's City of New Orleans was delayed by an alligator on the tracks !!! The incident was just out of New Orleans near Frenier. Report was that the gator got caught up under the cars and set off the detector causing the train to stop. Then they had air brake problems getting started.
Today's train was delayed by a tree falling across the tracks in the same area.
Then about 5 - 6 miles north at the Manchac bridge as well as signal problems. All are believed to be caused by the thunderstorms that we have had lately.
