Penn Station Board

Skipping ahead to the return trip for the moment, this is the track and train assignment board at Penn Station.
People watching in this area is wonderful. You can tell if they have traveled by train before or not by how they approach and read the board.
The picture is deceiving as well as it is clear. There had been a train stuck in the station and the announcements were repeated about how there were minor delays as a result of this. My train (#178) went to a 10 minute delay just after this picture was taken.
We ended up leaving NYC about 20 minutes late and only after New Haven did we start making up the time to arrive in Providence on schedule. |
