What could be going on to delay any Amtrak train going through Pennsylvania today?

When you play on the tracks and a train is approaching at ~ 80mph .... you do the math!

From your friendly Amtrak fur: A south bound train had a fatal trespasser strike at about 1:30p at the Holmesburg station in northeast Philadelphia.

Bernie and I normally listen to the Philly Amtrak PD traffic to make sure their radios are working to specs when we heard the call.

No wonders why one train was 50 min late to Baltimore Penn Station, and everything else was just plain delayed. The station staff recommended folks going to DC hop on the 4:55p MARC train!

I bet someone decides to try to blame the train for the trespasser being killed, as well.

Probably not this time. We heard that it was a probable suicide. :={
