One Downeaster in Service ??
Author: mp16

The screen currently does not show the 12:20pm
train to Boston as having a disruption. An estimated
arrival time at Boston-North Station is 3:26 pm.
No actual departure time is shown for Portland
and, as of a few minutes ago, none for Saco.
Original estimated time for SAO was 1:12 pm

696, 698 evidently will not run to Boston.
695(5:00 pm to Portland ) listed as a service
disruption

697, 6:45 pm to Portland is not listed as having
a disruption so it may run if all goes well.

699, the 11:00pm to Portland, is currently not
listed as having a disruption.

Estimated arrival of 12:20 pm from Portland
to North Station is 5:59 pm. As of 7:30 pm
Sat. only this estimated time in parentheses
is listed. Actual arrival evidently not definite.

The 6:45 pm train to Portland is simply listed
as having no further information available.
The words service disruption are not used
as of 7:45 pm. Perhaps the train will leave
within the hour.

Tr. 697, 6:45 pm departure is still listed as
having no info available. No service disruption
listed but since no estimated arrival times
are posted I assume the train did not run.

#699, 11:00 pm to Portland : no info
available.

Tr. 694, 12:20 pm from Portland still
has estimated arrival time of 5:59pm.
No definite arrival time listed. I wonder
if it did actually reach Boston.

690 arrived North Station Sunday 12:28 pm
(4:03 late)
693 departed BON 12:33 pm (1:33 late)

If 690 equipment is same train for 693
I assume no passengers boarded at
North Station, hence the quick
departure.
692 is estimated to arrive WOburn 1:18 pm

Even though train service is delayed or not running on the Downeaster, I presume, the train sets are not bad-ordered or something. When I first read the title of this thread, I was wondering if perhaps the Downeaster train sets were out of service due to mechanical issues etc. I assume this is still due to the weather New England has endured. But hasn't it all cleared at this point? Although I live in the Northeast, I don't often get the "New England Weather Reports!"
