Rebel, that was some timing! BTW, I just want to note that there is no way that Amtrak could have gotten away with blaming
the train accident for the delay. The reason is that Lorton is the point furthest north that the AutoTrain runs and the accident occurred approximately 70 mile NE of Lorton. Because of bridge height restrictions, AutoTrain cannot run any further north and Lorton was established as the northern start point. Have a safe trip!
