I also got tweet from Amtrak that Carolinian (#79) was annulled at Raleigh due to the weather.    That probably means that #80 will originate from there tomorrow (Friday) morning.

✔ @AmtrakNECAlerts

Carolinian Train 79 that departed NYP on 10/11 will terminate in Raleigh, NC (RGH) due to weather conditions from Tropical Storm Michael. Alternate transportation will be provided between RGH and Charlotte, NC (CLT).

Also, the Roanoke-bound train, #171, was delayed in Lynchburg due to a weather related downed tree:

Train 171 is currently stopped north of Lynchburg, VA (LYH) due to a downed tree blocking the tracks. We will update as more information becomes available.
