[Not] Arriving Now

R7_091221
You may have seen a similar announcement as rider Scott saw after the big snowstorm last month, or anytime at all. Trains being delayed. But the announcement was another story...

The announcement that accompanied this marquee?

"The scheduled 2:11 R7 local to Trenton now arriving on track 3."

The train, of course, never came.

Both of the signs seem to be somewhat automated, now? I guess it was an errant button push at some point, but Scott didn't notice a second announcement correcting the first one.

  1. During the big snow storm, I was waiting for a train at Market East. Got there at 8:40 PM. The R5 was to arrive in 2 minutes. At 8:42 the board said the train would be 5 minutes late. At 8:47, the board said the 8:42 train would be 10 minutes late. At 8:52, the board said the train would be 20 minutes late .... This went on until 9:40, when the 8:42 train was canceled, and the 9:42 train would be arriving 2 minutes late. This train did come on time.
