I think auto-correct got involved in this ... Chattanooga does not have passenger train service ("Pardon me boy, is that the Chattanooga Choo-Choo ....") 

Suspect there were storm-related issues along the way for all in that region.

Power failure leading to signal and crossing gate failure between Cary and Greensboro affected the Piedmonts.

Don't know for sure about 19, but seem to recall that there was a washout involved near Danville, though details are escaping me at present.
