They appear to have added one hour of padding en route south of WAS.
Also, they frequently load Washington-originating Northeast Regionals in the lower level as well, even when there seem to be lots of empty tracks in the upper level.
Good point. I guess Amtrak is kicking the proverbial can (train) down the road. It’s not likely to leave on time but maybe we can get you to Miami on schedule.
29(10) will use 92(09)’s consist in order to get a single level consist to Chicago for the inaugural run of the Floridian from Chicago.
The first Floridian 41 leaves Chicago tonight, I believe.
The consist is supposed to be the same as the Silver Star, 2 Chargers or P42s, four Amfleet II coaches, and Amfleet II lounge, a Viewliner II diner, two Viewliner sleepers and a baggage car. I read somewhere that the Floridian is supposed to get a third sleeper when more Viewliners become available.
Yes
Do we know which sleeper is a VII?
Unfortunately, both Plant City, FL railcams have been offline. Might be able to tell when it passes Folkston, GA, around 11:35 pm based on its current delay.
Unfortunately, the Plant City railcams have been down since the last severe storm in FL.
Maybe Dixieland does not have enough station spaces in the present programing to allow all the way to MIA and CHI? If you notice there are exactly 42 stations listed both ways. Programing may be a way off since 42 does not fall in the usual binary 32 or 64 but is 32 + 10
Each 40/41 train isn't listing the last 4 stops. It must be a data structure limitation...not sure if that's in Amtrak's system or transitdocs.
Yeah I think theres just too many stops for the website to put on a single train.
