Date: 2009-05-17 03:56 am (UTC)1st: TokoGT's sketch. I got to ink it.
2nd: Got on MARC Penn line #506 around 7:35am... and it was slow getting to BWI.
3rd: Talked to the conductor. Sounds like Amtrak was trying to find out why some track signals weren't being relayed properly to an electric engine, thus the slowness.
4th: 3pm mid-day. Get word that an Acella train struck and killed a guy south of BWI. One track was shut down, another intermittently shut down. The third is where everyone was getting on/off of. Because of where the accident was, Odenton was the only station where all three tracks were active.
