Trains mag possible errrors May 2013

[blue streak 1]

This thread is dedicated to errors of the month and all additions most welcome;;

1.  On page 7 the top picture states CSX is upgrading the  "A line for commuter service.  No!!! The upgrade is actually being done for Sun Rail by the Florida DOT.  The picture gives no location but I would suspect it is file footage however the "A" line did not have that much second tracking done before Nov.  It could be that the picture is from the "S' line around Wildwood as that much vegetation is not very prevalent around Orlando.  As an aside it appears dispatching of the Sun rail track that was purchased from CSX is now being done by Fl DOT.  The Jan  & Feb AMTRAK performance reports list delays on that line the worse of all AMTRAK trains.  That includes Auto train, Meteor, & Star of 8000 - 10000 minutes each per 10,000 miles.
