Check Amtrak’s Twitter alerts. You don’t need a Twitter account to see them.
Then maybe post them here for others to see.

This gets interesting. It was reported that CSX train hit a truck trailer at Panola crossing which is north of Fredericksburg.

19 is not delayed. It’s on its way to ALX.

Amtrak status map shows 95 & 97 at 0 mph at WAS.
53 & 125 are moving south now.
91 is shown north of WAS moving north at 7 mph. What's up with that?

I think 91’s GPS is stuck. It’s been showing that for a few hours.

It was probably not switched to the P42(s) that took over from the Electric locomotive.

But still moving almost 7 mph northbound for several hours?
The tracker was showing it was in/near the yard - not having reached the station.

It turns out the Freight engine partially derailed which contributed to the extensive delays....

Now, 91 is way late, its almost to West Palm Beach and will arrive Miami at 338am, dang.
97 stopped recently, it reported some issues. Not sure.

I wonder if they ran out of Flex Meals and had to break out the Dinty Moore Beef Stew?

Be still, my beating heart! I happen to like the stuff, although my wife refers to it as ALPO.
In any case, it certainly would be an improvement over the slop still offered on the Eagle
and I guess the Cardinal and the CONO.
As I type this we are just out of Marshall headed for Dallas. The Eagle "meals" are still the
Flex abominations. I just finished my hot freshly prepared Egg McDumont sandwich and
am on my 3rd cup of Cafe Bustelo'.
Then an hour to enjoy the scenery and time to pack up, and back to Reality.

They don't do the Amstew any more. On my last trip, they gave the sleeper pax a snack box that seemed OK. (I still have it, s I had some other provisions I wanted to use.) They also gave some little bags of pretzls/cookies to the coach passengers. It seems to me that a massive delay like that, with an arrival when everything is closed would be a good excuse to just call out for pizza/KFC somewhere along they way.

Having eaten both the Amstew and the flex meals, I have to disagree. The flex meals, for all their faults, really are better.
