Why is the southbound Crescent running almost 9 hours late? It's only approaching ATL (5 PM). Even the Amtrak status maps site (dixielandsoftware.net) has stopped logging its progress.

My last trip down on 19 last summer, we didn't hit NOL until around 3AM... at the smoke stop in BHM (around 8-9 PM) I was joking with the crew that at this point I wouldn't mind another 3 or 4 hours further loss so I could get a good night's sleep on board before connecting to 1 the next morning. They were not amused. :huh:When did this train finally arrive,or has it arrived, by the way Thank You for the link to Amtrak Status Maps, John. I am still just a newbie and learning. That site is awesome.
