What happened to Palmetto #89
Author: twropr

Left Washington at 10 am and departed Alexandria, VA at 2:56 pm.  This is normally a 15-17 min run.
#79, #194 and #156 made normal running times between these points, so something must have happened to #89
On a positive note, I have not seen as many mechanical breakdown this month as previously(?less patronage/less trouble).

This is Amtrak, so the answer is that the engine broke down shortly after leaving Washington DC and a rescue unit had to be sent.

That's not a joke...

EDIT: 89(19) has the AMTK 7 and 182. I'm guessing that the 182 crapped and the 7 was added ahead.
