Here it is Friday and a repeat of yesterday.  Speculation but wonder if it is a broken relay or bad transformer?  That great information manager at Amtrak certainly has kept public up to date about repairs.

The signal problems at WASH Union Station this Sunday morning continuing into Monday has really tied the RR up.  Amtrak has taken many delays as my other post has noted.  If this is not cleared up by Monday morning VRE and MARC are going to have massive delays.

Saturday 9/16 another major signal failure WASH and north to maybe New Carrolton.  amtrak says nothing of course but MARC does.  Most signal failures are on this section over the years.

Damage by storm was April 10th and why has Amtrak ignored it without any public announcement?
