There is a sign north of the Deland station on the rout. . Says end CFR begin CSX. That should end all this incorrect speculation.

Lets just say "canceled until further notice".I doubt it’s ridership related. It’s more likely due to ongoing repair and cleanup work where the derailment occurred. So far no long distance trains have had ridership related suspensions.

She only found out that her car was among the missing when her name was not called to pick it up.Amtrak will most likely be out 179 new cars, and that $100 for a rental car? That won’t last long enough to even get these cars into a body shop.

The rental cars were fully covered - I believe the $100 was to cover other incidentals in getting home (food, gas for the rental car, etc.)Do you know how the rental car stuff worked and where these reports might be? Was it a one or two day one-way rental, or something else? Anything about how car contents were going to be returned?

But the reports I read indicated the customers seemed satisfied as to how Amtrak was handling it.lordsigma12345 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 02, 2020 11:57 am No most reports have been that Amtrak treated the affected people well All reports I have read that Amtrak did a good job.
