OK did they think I wasn't going to miss the mistake in the list of northbound Northeast Regionals? Train #121 is a southbound train from New York to Washington.

I don't know Rafi; however a Virginia railfan stopped by the Richmond Staples Mill RD station and discovered 52(5) and 98(5) both parked at the station! The Amtrak train status site currently has following status: 52(5) ETA LOR at 5 pm (over 7 hours late) 98(5) ETA WAS at 4:56 pm (9 hrs late) I wonder how the food is holding out. Ross

Who's Rafi?

He works as a contractor for Amtrak and is a source of wealth of knowledge about the goings on within Amtrak. He is active on the other forum ;)

29 that left Washington on Friday is stranded near Connelsville, PA. And hasn't moved yet. There is an article in the NY times. I'll be watching this one carefully, I am on 30 on 2/11.
