CAT too hot today so some slow orders on NEC. Guess Amtrak just makes it a blanket restriction for even diesel pull trains.

Trains must reduce their speed to 80mph between Washington and New Carrollton and 100mph between New Carrollton and Odenton. Minor delays are possible.

The problem has been since 0830 this morning and no resolve before 1500 ?
Problem still not cleared at 1650. Tracking sites show delays even later. Other web site says it is a signal power problem. That may still be the 4400 V 100 hZ power. What is unknown is why has Amtrak not continued the program of getting the standby commercial power setup for signal power along this corridor ?
