Great catches in the yard. TWO VRE MP36s!

[murjax]

@GintaPPE1000 Thanks. MP36s are getting pretty common these days.

Notice the FRA cars were sitting in the yard before the P40 and F40PH. I guess they are there for the NTD.

[murjax]

@SuperStarRendon I did see that. I noticed they moved a lot of things to the area for NTD. The FRA cars, the exhibit train power, and the other heritage engines. The 4 heritage engines have been in service on Virginia trains the past 2 weeks.

WHATTA DUMBASS CONDUCTOR. LEARN TO SAY RHODE ISLAND. ALL THE WAY TO CT?1?!?!? BS. RHOLDE ISLAND

[murjax]

@zink444 Which is why they need to announce all stations, not just up to NY. Passengers get confused when they only hear or see a handful of the stations mentioned. In fact I had 2 or 3 people in Union Station asked me if this train stopped at Baltimore because it wasn't shown on the board there.

@murjax Eh..... unfortunately the staff aren't Havard students (no offense intended)

[murjax]

@GintaPPE1000 Yeah but, you don't need to be a rocket scientist to run a train.

[GintaPPE1000]

@murjax Ya can't have somebody THAT stupid run a train either.
