Amtrak wants to know how one of its trains took a wrong turn and got lost in the Philadelphia suburbs.

I can't help thinking that Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam are somehow mixed up in this.

In 1980, I took a round trip on Amtrak from Los Angeles to Ann Arbor, Mich. The train was 14 hours late getting there and 12 hours late getting back. I haven’t ridden Amtrak since.

“one of its trains took a wrong turn “
Must be one of those self-driving trains. Gotta stop them trains from missing a turn.

“accidentally “
The switching apparatus malfunctioned, and the poor train went the wrong way.

Really amazing how these trains work these days - no humans anywhere near the trains to drive them.

Must be an Obama database running the railroads.

History has taught us that the only successfully-run government railroad in history was in Italy, by Benito Mussolini.

He was a true fascist focused on something he could actually do.

Our fascist POTUS has his focus spread out over the entire national economy.

It's just too much for the man-child.

Maybe the Amtrak engineer should have ignored his GPS.

“Turn Right.”

Worried and baffled were most travelers at 30th Street Station Tuesday night.

Maybe the driver didn’t recognize “Bala Cynwyd” as the name of a place, not ever having been on that route before. It could have read like some kind of technical instruction to track maintenance personnel, like “ballast the kinwood.” This place could host the national spelling bee.
