THE AUTO TRAIN FROM SUBURBAN DC TO CENTRAL FLORIDA IS AN EXCELLENT CONCEPT, BUT ONCE IT HITS THE X-SCL SINGLE-TRACK SOUTH OF RICHMOND, IT CAN’T HELP BUT BE LATE. IF IT ISN’T THE CSX CONGESTION IT’S THE CSX TRAFIC DIRECTION GETS IT LATE–SOMETIMES VERY LATE.
Just a terrible situation. Sometimes it is almost as bad as traveling by air.
