Passenger Trains > One Downeaster in Service ??Date: 12/13/08 10:35 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. Date: 12/13/08 16:52 Re: One Downeaster in Service ?? Author: mp16 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. Date: 12/13/08 20:05 Re: One Downeaster in Service ?? Author: mp16 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.

Author: mp16 6:00 am and 8:05 am trains Portland-Boston

(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 Date: 12/14/08 19:18 One Downeaster in Service Author: jp1822 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!"
