364 stopped just east of Charlotte with a power failure to the train. One if the engines shut down. Possibly a disconnected cable. The crew is working on it now

According to an engineer I know that’s based out Chicago, a bulletin was posted that 365 was going to come into Chicago with a bad order car that was having repeated electrical shorts and the car in question was to be moved to the cardinal so it could be sent to beech grove.
