For Michael McFadden and his family, what began as a fun trip to Florida to visit Legoland turned into a nightmare after a train ride meant to last around 17 hours turned into a more than 35-hour ordeal.
McFadden, a software engineer for a media company, said his family had originally planned the trip for November but were forced to reschedule after their train was canceled because of Hurricane Nicole.The Amtrak Auto Train was affected by"significant delays" after a CSX freight train derailed in South Carolina, a spokesperson for Amtrak said in a statement early Wednesday. The Amtrak train was detoured from its normal route to continue operating south, the spokesperson said.
He also said that at one point, after he had posted a video on YouTube of an Amtrak worker addressing passengers, passengers were asked over the intercom to refrain from sharing videos and photos on social media. McFadden said that at one point his 7-year-old son was"convinced we could get off the train, he put on his shoes."Amtrak did not immediately respond to an overnight request for further information, including why the train stopped where it did and exactly how long it was delayed in South Carolina.
