The Florida trains have had quite a run of bad luck lately. This 92 lost 3.5 hours between Lakeland and Tampa. Anybody know what happened?

At least when these engines fail, the train doesn't fall out of the sky.So many maintenance failures - so little time.

On the other hand, if they did "fall out of the sky" so to speak, they would be maintained so that they wouldn't fall out of the sky.At least when these engines fail, the train doesn't fall out of the sky.So many maintenance failures - so little time.

We're talking PREVENTATIVE maintenance here.If they fell out of the sky, there wouldn't be much left to maintain!!
And the kicker here is that they want to rebuild the P42's. With the failure rate now. That'll surely keep going up as their is not many units they can take out at once. Maybe one or two at a time. These units get beat up well. IMO their bad candidates for rebuild.Stopped by a car stuck on the tracks between Lakeland and Tampa, then the locomotive quit loading. Picked up a CSX unit which took the train to Sanford for a replacement P42.
Case in point, a failure with the left phalange.Lots of things go wrong with airplanes that don't result in accidents.
