Yeah that sounds like bad luck. My two delays were 1) Somehow the electric engine they insert at Penn Station got messed up. And 2) Someone was unfortunately killed on the track by the train ahead of ours.

How reliable do you find the different modes? I generally thought the train sucked less because it didn’t have highway congestion but I know there were two times I took Amtrak that had two hour delays. And I’ve only taken it like ten times!
