Not to mention a few extra EQMI had two choices for getting home from Charlotte, a non-stop flight to Philadelphia for $422, or a connection through Boston for $133. Hmm. I’m willing to pay a bit extra to get a non-stop and limit exposure to issues (particularly in mid-summer), but an extra $289 is more than “a bit”, so the Boston connection it was.

Wow! I hadn't thought of that! Oh, maybe I had.

So that poor train was "CSX'ed" in Virginia, and it was...... Oh what is the verb form of Metro North? "MN'ed"? Ed let us know here when you finally show up in Boston!!!
Funny I read this and we get word that there is only single trackage several miles east of New Haven so of course we have to wait for the westbound SLE/MN train to pass through before we can east...so I have been Amtraked in addition to CSXed and MNed. The fun just keeps getting better!
ETA from the conductors is 11:15 am approximately barring no further delays.

The derailment was in the Metro North only section of the line between Spuyten Duyvil and Grand Central and did not affect Amtrak operation.There was also a freight derailment on the metro north route along the Hudson. It's supposed to be cleaned up today so hopefully tomorrows 49 goes.
