Please disregard my rant on the trains. When I got to Union Station this evening, they announced several times that the Brunswick Line trains were being held due to a fallen tree near Garrett Park. After posting, I went to the news and learned that a man was struck and killed by a freight train in the southern part of Rockville, MD, several miles north of the Nuclear Free Zone.

A fatality on the tracks closes the tracks for several hours. I can't understand why the people at Union Station could not impart the true reason for the delay. Well, actually I do know why, and it's despicable.

Oh my! How sad.

But why on earth couldn’t they just say that was the reason? pfft!

Man...folks need to stay away from the tracks. The trains always win the encounters.
