On occasion I have noticed on the web site Amtrak will show a Service Disruption for the Autotrain. Last time we used the Autotrain I asked an attendant what that meant. Her explanation was that sometimes one of the trains will get off schedule and if the delay is bad enough then Amtrak will cancel a day to get both trains back on schedule.
I know after the 1st nor'easter train travel north of DC was shut down and the northbound Autotrain got some 8hrs off schedule. Couple days later they announced a Service Disruption.
