Pathetic Day at NYP
Posted by nyc limited on Sunday, February 14, 2016 7:51 PM

It is now 8:30pm at Penn Station; wife is still waiting for the 3:15pm Silver Meteor (#97).  Same issue with the 3:40pm Lake Shore Limited (#49).  Amtrak claims frozen switches and equipment at Sunnyside. Of course Amtrak had "On Time" status on their web site right up to the scheduled departure time, then switched to "Status currently unavailable due to a service disruption. Call 1-800-USA-RAIL for more information."  Pathetic.

Weather happens - Valentines Day happens - calling in people to work in bad weather on Valentines Day.

Saw 97 was 13 1/2 hours late through Fredericksburg, VA this morning.

Never too old to have a happy childhood!
