[?][?][?][V]From what I understand...The Shutdown was due to a bridge in disrepair in Salema NC (excuse my spelling) does anyone have any further info on this...i was suppose to leave on train #92 Silver Star JAX-Columbia SC but was informed by the local news that the shutdown had happened... I believe Amtrak could have taken better measures to help stranded passengers...[:(!][:(!][?]

Go to "News Wire" (at the very top of the page) -- they provided a fair amount of information, over the past few days.
As for what Amtrak could have done -- surely it's more a question of what a publicly funded transportation system should be providing for its fare-paying passengers, in this day and age.
