For the past week or so, the Silver Meteor and Star have been running fewer cars. For example the Meteor is now 2 coaches (down from 4), and 2 sleepers (down from 3). The odd thing is that these trains seem to always be running on time now (compared to about half the time before). Why would that be? Fewer freight trains? In case you are wondering, I often watch them on YouTube live-cam going trough Ashland, VA. Star at 4:48 pm, Meteor at 9:14 pm. Also, if you are wondering why don't they just run one train per day...they each take a different route in 2 areas (SC and FL).
