Are you stuck on a train right now? Wondering what’s happening, but stranded somewhere with crappy phone signal and no WiFi? Welcome to a low-ish bandwidth site with the news about the big power outage/ train halting in the Northeast between Philly and New York.
Are things starting to move near you? Let other Kossacks know.
Please keeP things light in the way of images and video.
Also — please excuse any formatting strangeness. Saving drafts/ previewing is a super duper pain in the ass right now.
What I know — power outage somewhere between NYC and Philly around 10:30. A few trains stuck in tunnels had to be towed out. Around 12:10, a test train was sent through the affected area after with hopes that the repairs worked. That train failed.
I do hear that SEPTA southbound is operational, but I suspect that just means SEPTA south of 30th St is working.
Share your stories or news. I suspect I’m not the only one with super duper lagging wireless (example #2 in today’s tour of “thus is what we get when we don’t invest in infrastructure) who is wondering whether to get off the train and try to find another route.
