I was surprised how little traffic there was on the road for most of the trip. Still took awhile. I don't think I will be seeing too many trains after this train. Rain is in the forecast and I have other things to do.

@@DavidUy MARC runs Chargers, GP39s and MP36PH-3C for diesel and HHP-8s for the Penn Line which uses the NEC right of way from DC-Perryville. The HHP-8s are not as easy to catch since they’re retiring them plus Amtrak charges them a lot to use the catenary.

I'm currently onboard, so can give a semi real-time update- issues in Columbia, SC were due to a coach car having a small electrical fire, resulting in the crew having to cut power to the entire consist. Everytime they'd try and give power to the cars, the coach car wiring would spark up. They pulled us north of Columbia to a siding to remove the coach and put it at th back (hence why it looks like an extra car trailing), so they could provide power again. All in all, about 3-4 hours without power. Then had engine issues in Hamlet due to PTC, resulting in a further delay.

Thanks. That explains why the Amfleet car was tacked on the end. Didn't realize that those cars could cause problems like that.
@spiffster302 күн бұрын
The crew was mentioning that the Amfleet II's specifically have become very problematic lately, and that this car will probably be taken back to Miami on a return Floridian 41 train because the yards up in Chicago won't work on them, that only Miami or New York will touch them now.

@DavidUy4 күн бұрын
Royal street is tricky. They use 160.905MHz when they leave Raleigh Station and call the Boylan signal. They switch to 161.100 right after that. They don't talk again until they round the curve and call the Waffle House signals unless they need to get permission to go through the Fairgrounds work zone. My scanner with the stock antenna rarely picked up the call to depart Raleigh station.
