My home for 8 hours. What was to be a 2.5 hour ride turned with the snow. 6-8". Apparently snow and trains don't fare too well. The first snag was getting stuck behind a broken train. The one that left 2 hours before ours. I'm glad I was not on that one. Next was the cargo train derailed in front of us. They backed ours up to bus us in. The engineers changed the plan after an hour and squeaked by the derailed one. Then we backed up to a station. Oh but wait some trees fell on the tracks. They got some guys out with chainsaws and cleared those. Now I am moving forward, bit they need to change tracks again. They are changing them manually, so i think that will add 1/2 hour again to this trip. Once I get to Richmond Station I still have to drive 30 min in this weather. I hope my car is not plowed in. At least they closed post tomorrow so I have no school. What a long trip this is.
