In a move forced inpart by Amtrak's Legal Dept and Insurance Carrier, Amtrak is dropping Charter trains and restricting Pvt car switching
to locations where the dwell time at the station is greater than 30 minutes(Crew base and servicing stops).
Due to wrecks near Tacoma Wa and Caycee NC,along with the Charter train accident at a grade crossing in Va,
Amtrak's Legal Dept with the Insurance carrier have declared Charter train ops NO longer worth the RISK.
This will affect Steam Loco trips on Class 1 RR's,any fantrips on freight only routes,and any charter train trips off the NEC
Unknown for now if the Pro team charters on the NEC are affected.
