Passenger Trains > Crescent 19 (17) stuck behind freight out of fuelDate: 06/18/18 03:29 Crescent 19 (17) stuck behind freight out of fuel Author: Amtrak-P42 Currently on the southbound crescent running only 45 minutes down came to stop at 435am EST in Gaffney, SC account NS running a heavy freight out of fuel on the single track ahead.
Been here for 2 hours so far and according to dispatcher they are having trouble with the brakes trying to hook up the relief engines from Spartanburg to pull the train backward to the double track. Out of fuel, come on NS.

So in today's NS, what happen when they eff up like this ?
