BlastOButter42 Posted August 8, 2009 Share #1 Posted August 8, 2009 I had quite a trip today. At least it was all on the way home. I was on the way back from New Haven on the 4:50 and we got stuck at Bridgehamption for about half an hour because a train in front of us broke down. Anyone know what happened? I was almost on that train but we decided not to rush and get the next one. Incidentally, on my way home from Grand Central, I got on a from Times Square, and then they announced that it was the last stop and kicked everybody off before leaving. Any idea what that was about?

Amtrak7 Posted August 8, 2009 Share #2 Posted August 8, 2009 Shore Line East deadhead train caught fire in Fairfield. And do you mean Bridgeport, not Bridgehampton? http://railroad.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=64124 http://www.connpost.com/ci_13015924 I don't know about the train problem.

R44 5278 Posted August 9, 2009 Share #4 Posted August 9, 2009 At least it wasn't during a Rush! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutgers Tube Posted August 9, 2009 Share #5 Posted August 9, 2009 At least it wasn't during a Rush! It was during a rush. Three out of four of the tracks on the New Haven mainline were shut down, and that left one remaining track to run all MNRR, SLE and Amtrak trains running in BOTH directions between New Haven and GCT. This all happened between 5 and 6 pm on a Friday. There may not have been a worse time for this to have happened, aside from a holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
