Amtrak #'s 91 and 97 Back to Back in Jax. 8-24-2011

Both #91 and #97 were running extremely late today, so much as they arrived in Jacksonville back to back. #91 was running 4 1/2 hours late, and #97 was running a little over 2 hours late.
#1 - 91 at Old Kings Rd. About 10 miles north of the station, highballing to make up whatever time he could (already 4 1/2 hours behind).
#2 - After 91 cleared I was heading south and crossing Dunn Ave. when low and behold, here comes #97 running at track speed. I quickly stopped and jumped out just in time to catch him.
#3 - #91 after departing Jax station, is rounding Plymouth St. curve, heading south towards McGirts Creek.
#4 - #97 crossing San Juan Ave in south Jacksonville, still running over 2 hours late. #97 is now going to have to follow #91 all the way down to the Auburndale split.

You were all over the place! For those trains to be back to back, there had to be something terribly wrong up north! Good stuff!
