Hi, all.
Due to the truck crash in New Haven yesterday, southbound Amtrak trains from Boston were turning at Old Saybrook to head back north.

I arrived to see this train stopped on track 1

The trains passengers were let off and were milling about. Some called taxis and I saw a CT Transit bus show up as well.

AEM7 looking like a trolley at Old Saybrook

After relaying east of the station, he came back on track 3 to couple with the Amfleets

A SLE rescue shuttle arrived to take passengers to Branford, where they would be bused to NHV Union Station. At a little after 8 I left to get dinner.

According to the news Amtrak service has been restored, with delays.
