ok - on the 5:38

so far not too bad - left a little late - a little crowded - but I managed to get a seat.

About 5 minutes out of Forrest Hills right now.
We are kinda crawling along however.

Standby............

 

[wader]

what caused the derailment anywho?

Buffalo on the tracks?

 

[barney116]

Train derailed and collided with another train at a slow speed. Cause under investigation. Possibly a problem with a switch.

 

[wader]

Kew Gardens now

I think we're gonna be alright.

Could be a different matter once we reach Jamica - but........
