Apparently only a short delay for 19(23) as Transitdocs shows it departing Gainesville, GA, 52 minutes late at 7:50 AM EST.

However, it looks like today's 20 will be delayed because of an NS derailment.  The Amtrak long distance Twitter Alerts says:

Crescent Train 20 scheduled to depart New Orleans (NOL) on 1/24 will be delayed departing due to a freight train derailment blocking the tracks north of Hattiesburg (HBG). We will update as more information becomes available.

Trying to get info. Bus bridge may be in the works account NS derailment north of Hattiesburg MS.

Per Am-Twitter, 20(24) has departed New Orleans, operating 45 minutes late.

According to the most recent ETT that I have, the longest siding between Austell and Lardent (east side of Anniston) is only 11,255 feet... which used to be plenty. PSR strikes again.  

Nothing wrong with running 12,000 foot trains as long as you have a bunch of 12,000 feet sidings,
