Well, just in time for the Easter holiday rush we are faced with some train annullments here in the East. Got word today there is a bridge that was pulled out of service around the RMT area. Seems as if it failed a safety inspection. Auto Train, Silver Services, Palmetto, and possibly the Carolinian are all affected. Todays trains #98 and #92 of the 12th are being terminated at JAX with the equipment returning to MIA, and #91 and #97 of the 12th are terminating in RVR and WAS and returning the equipment back to SSY in NYC. If my source is correct the trains returning their equipment are still offering service back to the beginnig point for those passengers affected already on the train. The passengers were give the chance to detrain and make alternate plans at RVR and JAX that I know of. No actual word on what is up with Auto Train and the Carolinian and Palmetto. I am sure the Piedmont train won't be affected at all, though.
Oh boy, missing another trip......... again.......... but I guess it is good in the name of safety. I will provide more as I can, however, if anyone reading this has travel plans tomm on the 13th, be sure to call ahead as most likely those of us here in the East won't have a train tomm (04/13th), unless a "bus bridge" is implemented for some or all the trains.
