Crazy Few Commuting Days
The nor'easter has come and gone but we're not quite back to normal yet. I worked from home Monday and it was a good thing that I did. Many local roads were closed, my connecting train station was under some water and the trains were running at least an hour late – if running at all. And a substantial sink-hole sunk in front of my parking lot. That should make things interesting for the next week or so.
Between yesterday and today, there are still signal problems outside of my connecting station and the surrounds so trains are still running a bit behind schedule. For example I catch a 6:37 connection as we generally arrive at the station by 6:20. The 6:15 has been running late and we're taking that into the city instead. I can't complain really. The conductor this morning said it's going to be a few more days until the signals are worked out.
It's funny because this storm dropped more rain than Hurricane Floyd did back in 1999, and in some cases the flooding seems worse and in others seems not as bad. I can't figure it out. I guess because the Delaware River didn’t overflow we missed out on the train tracks being submerged under 6 feet of water! I definitely can't complain.
