Passenger Trains > Thurs 2150

1'35" late Newark NJ---no Acela (again).

- "Bring on the clowns.................."
- It is amateur hour.........
- new litany of excuses:
* it's winter
* it's new technology
* crews are not familiar
* mechanical people are puzzled

Come on, George Warrington, where did you get these lightweights??

Don't you get it, MEKoch?? George Warrington is the biggest clown, and you hire those who are like you.

This is why that 10 billion dollar high speed bond bill is having trouble becoming law. Mr. Warrington has no idea what repercussions these mistakes will have in the long run. He will go down as the person who killed passenger trains, rather than saving them.

I urge all who read this to right a strong, yet civil, letter to him and Gov. Tommy Thompson. Tell them that this idiocy will has already been causing ridicule and doubt, which extends up to the Congressional level. If you want your trains, people, either get G.W. to change pronto, or get him out and put someone who knows how to run a railroad.

Maybe lure Robert Krebs...
