    I was once on an Amtrak train (BTW, I love Amtrak in a Joe Biden kinda way) and a squirrel decided to commit suicide by plummeting onto the train's switching station or some such thing. (I remember lots of jokes about fried squirrel).

    I still love Amtrak, especially the older trains when they're empty at night and no one is yelling into their cell phone.

    How is Amtrak being broken today different from any other day? It's just broke worse. (but seriously, sucks to be the people on those trains)

    As someone who was once on a train from Baltimore to Boston when it struck someone or, uh, vice versa (won't go into detail on what that moment was like, yeesh.) and these were the days before texting, tweeting, and all other various forms of telling people in quick shouty bursts what just freaking happened two seconds ago! (2004) all we were able to do was listen to our battery operated Discmans, use our Nokia cell phones to tell people what happened the old fashioned way, and watch people meltdown from simultaneous boredom and incredulity that the actual physical impact of a human being on a locomotive could delay 3pm drinks on the Upper East Side.

    Hating Toronto is a Canadian national passtime, but I must say if you're ever stuck on a train, pray it's with a bunch of Torontonians. Truly one of the most memorable nights of fun of my entire life, even WITH the repeating Stomping Tom singalong at one end of the car.

    Of course it would be way too much to suggest that somebody trying to get from Philadelphia to Baltimore might rent a car and drive.

    @Lymed: I've been on broken amtrak trains before. they don't let you off. you just sit there for 4 hours, not moving, in new haven connecticut (or rye, ny-- i've been trapped twice) wondering why the hell you ever decided to move to boston. it's hard to rent a car when you can't disembark.
