Metsfan i gotta to disagree. IMO (septa) exces is making the right call. People I feel should be home when you have 2-3 feet of snow. Plus its saturday night, i would more understand if this was a weeknight to try to run service for workers. Plus Metsfan do you want an accident?

 

You want a repeat of the LIRR in Suffolk County with riders being stuck as it happened during the pre christmas storm last dec?

 

I am pretty sure they will have hunderds of workers cleaning up the tracks to resume service on Sunday.

 

Just like flying on occasion, trains need to shut down on occaion due to the weather.B)

The lines along the NEC will get clear tracks with Amtrak trains, even if many of those Regionals are canceled.

Yea, but only one line combo uses the NEC. No trains really run on the other lines aside from . Whatever, i disagree with them doing that. If people need to get somewhere and responsibly leave the car at station/at home they should not be treated to a shut down system for 14 inches of snow (or less in some areas). This region has been having snowy winters since before people lived here, i don't think anyone in the served area is unprepared for any amount of wintery PA weather.
