Analysis
Li corresponds to Wu Fire — at the Wu hour the train is still running. Li being a Six-Clash hexagram means at the Wu hour the train hasn't reached its terminus — it's running late. A traveller meeting Six-Clash is not smooth. Wife/Wealth moves and transforms with reciprocal production — by the Xu hour she will surely reach home.
Actual outcome
His wife reached home at the Xu hour. The delay was due to a cargo-train fire on the line near Shaoguan.
