I keep hearing about the problems that the Sunset has in navigating the CSX Gentilly Yard in New Orleans. Indeed I recall it was very slow going through the yard when I took #1 from ORL to NOL last year. It took us an hour to go maybe six miles.
I seem to remember that the yard was upgraded prior to the Sunset's expansion to Florida in 1993. Did they add a track that was built specifically for the Sunset? If so, why does it take several hours for the train to travel the 53 miles between NOL and Bay St. Louis? Poor dispatching like the UP? Overcapacity?
Thanks!
