Passenger Trains > Father's Day 92.....Late.....AgainDate: 06/19/22 10:48 Father's Day 92.....Late.....Again Author: scraphauler Father's Day 2022 dawned with a beautiful sunrise and comfortable temperatures in the Sandhills of North Carolina. The family took me out for breakfast in Southern Pines where I noticed there where people with luggage milling about on the platform, Right around 10AM, these folks have conceivably been waiting for over 3 hours and unfortunately, their wait is only half done. Nearly 3 hours later and 5 miles to the south, we find the nearly 6 hour tardy #92 accelerating out of Aberdeen NC, passing the former Aberdeen Union Station (ACL, SOU, A&R). 92 held the main here for about 10 minute waiting on a set of CSXT southbound lite engines to clear up (appears to possibly be operating on L619's symbol). 92 had a 6th coach on it - not sure if it was deadhead or revenue.

Sorry to be pessimistic.
