New train (40-41 Floridian) between Miami and Chicago via Washington DC

[Amtrak25]

Tonite's #40 from Washington to Chicago will be 5 hours late.

2 hours for freight train issues in Hamlet + 3 hours late for trespasser incident near Richmond.

The Floridian works on paper, not in reality.

Sitting on the 41 now, bound for PIT. Left Chicago on time, went 500 metres and stopped. Supposedly a “computer issue.” I have a half bottle of a decent Chardonnay and two seats to myself, so far. I’m not in a hurry but I’d rather be moving since that’s the nice part of trains.

Spoke too soon. Just now underway.

Nice seeing all 5 of these Florida trains running on time

You did not check around Richmond . Both 40 & 41 delayed due to bicycle rider getting hit by CSX freight,
