Heat Havoc

Major delays tonight for those of us on the Penn Line and Amtrak.  A broken down train blocked two tracks causing the 4:24, 5:15, 5:20, etc. trains to depart late.  Right now we're about 30 minutes behind schedule and the air conditioning doesn't seem to be working.  So I sit here silently sweating as I type this.  The one saving grace is that it's not yet the holiday weekend.  Let's hope something similar to this doesn't happen Friday.  I think MARC would have a riot on its hands.  MARC is already trying to accommodate riders for Friday's mass exodus out of the city.  It has announced that it is running an earlier train on the Camden Line and adding more cars to the other lines in an effort to get people to their weekend destinations sooner. But if the tracks are blocked, all the efforts will be in vain.  Keep your fingers crossed.
