There doesn't appear to be any train #1 operating at this time (today) anywhere between Orlando and LA. The last #1 to depart Orlando (5/27) arrived yesterday at LAX a mere 4:17 late.

Train No. 1 was disrupted because of the track work on the CSX being done for 6 weeks between Tallahassee and Jacksonville, Florida. The trains will resume with full service soon. Part of the route was temporarily run on dedicated bus service.

What are the dates for the trackwork? What dates will the Sunset not run east of New Orleans? I have a trip in a couple of weeks and Amtrak is bad about dispensing information.

Me too, Silverstar. I think I read/heard, that the track work was to be completed by June 6. Hope so!
