The Amtrak Silver Meteor derailed on May 14th here in South Carolina. 14 were injured, but none seriously. Most trains are rerouting to stay o schedule, but the tracks where the derailment took place will be out for at least 48 hrs. I railfan in Columbia, SC and have seen some of the rerouted traffic today being accented with the Amtrak Auto Train. And even the Auto Train had problems because when it arrived in Columbia, the lead Genesis had only 500 gal. of fuel left and the 2nd Genesis already ran out. It left Columbia behind CSX power (SD70MAC and 2 GP40-2s). Is Amtrak the only service in the US with a Auto Train service?
