Reminds me of the story of the tourists stuck overnight on a jammed tramway car that goes up Sandia Mountain in Albuquerque NM (yes, New Mexico is in the USA). The tourists took it with a little better humor, however. Especially considering that the tramway car can get 200 feet or more above the ground.

Baltimore and Philadelphia? I’m thinking a certain demographic here.
Most of whom could miss a meal.
I don’t even want to think about what constitutes Amtrak Emergency Rations, much less fight over it.

Hard to believe this could happen in America. But then — it's not really America anymore, is it?

I’d be really, really annoyed but crying and fighting after 10 hours? Good lord.

Trains suck, which is why the airplane was invented.

Few people want out of the door of an airplane mid-travel.

This “brave reporter” sounds like a real Nancy-boy . . .
To: Charlemagne on the Fox
Ah, he could have weathered it himself, but he needed a sensational story.

What I can’t get over is the fact that this reporter is a total weenie. If, God forbid, some sort of disaster were to occur wherein we were entirely on our own for any extended length of time, this guy would not only not make it, but would be in deadly danger from those of us who had to listen to his whining.

Airplanes in general are a lot more reliable than Amtrak. Riding Amtrak is like flying in Ethiopian Airlines or Uzbek Air.

Trains suck, which is why the airplane was invented.Or better yet you can drive from Baltimore to Philadelphia in around 2 hours. If 95 gets backed up there's plenty of places to eat at any given exit.

I am not a Twitter nor FB fan (I still don’t think anyone cares if I am taking a bowel break) but I have to admit this is quite a compelling log.
