Auto Train leaves Lorton and crosses Occoquan River about 3:45pm. Scheduled arrival in Lorton is 9:30 am. Today I saw it crossing the River, northbound to Lorton, at 4:15, which is almost 7 hours late. Anyone know what happened?

Mechanical defect south of Richmond delayed the train three hours, resulting delay outlawed the crew with another two hours spent waiting for a fresh crew at Richmond.
Southbound P05302 is getting ready to depart Lorton as of 2130hrs.
Thanks.
I used to ride the auto-train monthly for business trips, and only once did we come close to the hog law, after two stops for ill passengers to be removed to ambulances.
If you're aboard, have a good trip.
