#91 Silver Star Schedule Change in Florida 11/15-12/2/21

[JoshP]

The current schedule:



Since it says 87 minutes early, so I assume the new temporary schedule as follows:

Winter Haven	2:08pm
Sebring	1:28pm
Okeechobee	12:48pm
West Palm Beach	11:48am
Delray Beach	11:28am
Deerfield Beach	11:18am
Ft. Lauderdale	11:00am
Hollywood	10:45am
Miami	10:30am

Winter Haven	12:08pm
Sebring	1:16pm
Okeechobee	1:52pm
West Palm Beach	3:17pm
Delray Beach	3:41pm
Deerfield Beach	3:53pm
Ft Lauderalde	4:17pm
Hollywood	4:33pm
Miami	4:58pm

I'm not sure if all above is correct but that is my estimate.

Interesting, I was in Ybor City (Tampa) the other day and saw a lot of construction on the line, so I assume this is related to that. I was told - by a non-foamer - that CSX is double-tracking it. Does anyone know if that is accurate?

If that is true, that would save lot of time and Amtrak can bypass other track, no more delays.

Any evidence of new rail , large amounts of cross ties, grading beside track ? If all three maybe DT otherwise no.

Lots of new rail, some grading, didn't notice crossties but didn't think to look for that.

According to that notice the change is only in the schedule of 91, not of 92. So it is erroneous to claim that 92 will operate on a different schedule.

Yeah I know, I was curious so I decided to write my estimate times. I'll find out about 92 soon

Update! (And rumor control.)

I was in the area again and one of the track workers happened to be walking by so I asked him. It is rail replacement, not a second track. The widening I thought I saw was just redoing the crossings.
