Day Two

Not even marginally better.  It started out fine -- I got to DC in the two-hour time frame I expected.  Homeward, though, the problems began.  Stuffed into each seat pocket was an apology letter from a MARC executive for the fiasco the previous evening when a train load of passengers were stuck for more than two hours without airconditioning because of a train malfunction.  Thankfully, I wasn't on that train and, at least in my mind, I would have thought that incident would have spurred MARC to correct any problems to prevent back-to-back problems.  WRONG!  Through a series of delays, a train malfunction and just generally slow progress, my train arrived home in a mere 2:40 minutes.  UGH!  Maybe third time's a charm?  We'll see.
