What happened to the Silver Meteors?
Author: twropr

Both 97 and 98 lost several hours this morning between Rocky Mount and Florence. Both Auto Trains early so it was not freight related.

According to my brother who is currently on 97, they were stuck in Camden, NC in the wee hours of the morning for several hours due to a freight train derailment ahead of them.  Down 6 hours 20 minutes right now.

Camden is in SC, and trains 91/92 operate through there not 97/98.

Actually there is a Camden, NC in the northeast corner of the state, near Norfolk, but the only RR is a stub of the original NS now operated by G&W/Chesapeake & Albemarle.
