Alan, can we hit the spike a little early on this one?

Sometimes I almost feel like I'm on a track gang out here, all these spikes that need to be driven. :lol:

Oh man Railfan, Amtrak trains can be late for so many reasons, mainly freight train interference but there is also passenger loading delays, yard delays, bad-ordered equipment, derailments, track work, slow orders, grade crossing accidents, signal failures, weather, and the list goes on.

Amtrak Railfan, please, refer to P40Power's post for your information, as he summed it up nicely. This topic is closed.
