Why is 92 (9/16/15) so late?

[Bronzeman]

Anyone know why no.92 lost so much time in Florida yesterday? It is presently 8+ hours late.

My son, who is disabled, will be taking it Monday (Raleigh-Trenton) and we're hoping that, whatever the cause, there won't be any hangover then to inconvenience the relatives who will be picking him up.

The Silver Star #92(9/16) got seriously delayed between Sebring, FL (was 51 minutes late) and Winter Haven (departed 6 hours and 21 minutes late). Checking trainorders, there is a post stating that #92s lead locomotive had an axle lock up. Monday is far enough off that the Star should be back to normal by then.

Thanks so much for the prompt response and info.

Fun fact - it was Heritage unit #822 that was set out.

P42s are still having the axle lockup problem? I thought the issue had been addressed by changing maintenance procedures?

I believe it was the trailing unit, yes?

Things still happen.
