As if two fatal accidents weren't enough yesterday, southbound Amtrak Auto Train 53 hit a downed tree on the tracks. Thankfully no derailment, but it took 5 hours to either verify no damage or repair damage and re-start. 53 is due in at Sanford,FL 45 minutes ago, now projected ETA is 4:10 as it is near Savannah, GA at present (10:45am).
Just a bad day for Amtrak.
