It's a Gene Poon'ism from the Passenger Board. Usually used to bash Amtrak.

Ah well, the younger generation with no railroad experience!

Can't pin this one on Amtrak.

UP 5296 was added to the point and departed San Antonio only 1:07 late, however the UP engine crapped out west of Eagle Lake
to the extent that it had to be set out! Into Houston about 4:30 PM with only AMTK 131 for power, about 5 hours late.

For years I've heard the term "bad order" to mean "a piece of rr equipment not being in a state for use". Then I found in some antedeluvian RR publication that it's short for "a piece of RR equipment being in bad order", and after repairs it was back to being "in good order". However you never hear the phrase "good order" on the RR. So SOGR is probably a case of some keyboard artist getting carried away and all soggy.

That is really strange the UP # 5296 brought a disabled train # 21 down from Little River the night before.

And doesn't BNSF also use "LUBO" -- meaning "Laid Up Bad Order" --
for bad-ordered equipment?
