Passenger Trains > Overkill but probably necessaryDate: 03/26/13 09:15 Overkill but probably necessary Author: Ptolemy Evidently #49 will be leaving NYP five minutes earlier in April, when I will be on it. So far, in the last 24 hours, I have received two phone calls and two e-mails about this change. I suppose one can't be too careful, but it seems a waste of Amtrak's scant resources.

Back in the pre-VIA days, I remember running down the platform here in Ottawa trying to catch my moving train. As the trainman was closing the dutch door on the coach, he noticed me waving, and radioed for the train to halt. My friend who was already on board though that he was going to Toronto alone and was quite surprised when a puffing,hot,sweaty me sat down beside him! Gerry Gaugl Ottawa ON |
