A major coal train derailment north of Enfield has thrown travel plans into chaos for anyone relying on Amtrak between Raleigh and Washington, D.C. All trains along this busy East Coast route—including the Carolinian and Silver Meteor—are canceled today, leaving many commuters and vacationers scrambling for alternatives. The impact stretches from Charlotte to New York, and even affects long-distance trips to Florida and Chicago. For those in the Triangle and beyond, this sudden shutdown highlights just how much we depend on these rail connections. How are you coping with the disruption, and what alternatives are you considering? #Transportation #Amtrak #Raleigh
