Passenger Trains > A-T 52 in trouble

Just heard that Auto Train is stopped somewhere south of Jacksonville with an engine leaking
fuel - anyone hear where this is?
Thanks
Andy

At about 9.50pm, transitdocs shows the train stopped along US 17, north of Blanding Boulevard. On the south side of Jacksonville, a mile or two south of the yard

Stopped there at 7:25 p.m.  On the move at 10:46 p.m. South of Florence at 5:50 a.m. on 1/6,379 miles from Lorton travelling at 69 mph, ETA 1:11 p.m., 3:12 late.

At 8.45 this morning the train is doing 48 mph just south of Selma NC.

Is any maintenance being done at all to the long distance fleet. It's getting to the point you can't make this stuff up. Honestly. WT*

Playing devil's advocate....it is a known problem with GE engines to delevelop sudden fuel leaks near the injectors.....I suppose fastidious maintenance will minimize the opportunity but apparently it just happens...and has happened to me as well. 

Auto Train 52 arrived Lorton almost 5 hours late.  The southbound train tonight is carded for two hours later, at 7 pm.

Good job for the Lorton team. Servicing, cleaning, and loading the train on short hours

When I viewed 52 passing the Ashland rail cam at 12:47 pm, P42 137 had been added ahead.
Wonder where it was added?

CORRECTION - the leader was 154, which SILVER STAR 92 had dropped in Jacksonville.
