Christmas Day Dispatcher Software Upgrade

On Dec. 25 there was some sort of upgrade on the centralized train dispatching system that delayed a few Amtrak trains. Not sure if this was only on the former Seaboard System side, or if it affected the former CR and Chessie offices also. I do know that routes had to be set up ahead of time to run the Amtraks, which may have been the only trains running on Christmas Day.

Tri-Rail commuter trains ran between West Palm Beach and Miami although the last trains of the day in both directions did not run.
