What happened to 11/12/13 Silver Meteors?

Both 98 and 97 lost many hours early this morning (11/13) between Florence and Fayetteville. Does anyone know what happened?

According to trainorders Penny, it was a Combination of Freight Traffic, an Engineer having Medical Problems, Track Work and the Crews Timing Out due to the Various Delays!

Thanks Jim. I am sorry to hear that an engineer was having medical problems, but am happy that there was no accident involving either train since they are "my" trains. :lol:

Seems like the Silver Trains have Caught the Hi-Line Disease lately what with all the Track Work, Freight Problems, Bustittutions etc. Good thing there isn't an Oil Boom going on in Florida or we'd be having a Never Ending Thread about the Silver Miseries!

As "luck" would have it, when I took 98 & 97 between DLD and ALX 5 weeks ago the trains were early or on time .

Completely hijacking this thread, I went out and followed the NB Meteor as it came through Savannah on Monday night. Much to my delight and suprise, not five minutes behind it was a 1927 Doodlebug doing work as Sperry Rail Services Inspection Car #119. Making good time, I might add, behind the 79 MPH Silver Meteor...

Very cool.

Maybe it did! It happened on 11/12/13, so maybe it caught the 14 disease!
Turn the number 14 on a calculator, and what line is shown! :giggle: (Sorry - it's been a long day.)

Thanks for identifying that...I saw it go through in Jesup and wondered what it was. CJ
