While sitting here in Chicago waiting on 49 LSL to arrive, I noticed that Amtrak.com is saying it will arrive at 10:31am vs. the electronic arrival board in the gate area that says it will arrive at 10:40am. Why is there a difference?
Does the glass house control the arrival board and have nothing to do with Amtrak.com?
Thanks in advance!
This is pretty common when the left hand doesnt know what the right is doing! (Amtraks MO!
) For example you can call "Julie" or check Train Status on Amtrak.com and get Arrival or departure times for LD Trains. The Station Board or Monitor will show a different Time and in the case of Automated Announcment Stations (ie Baltimore) they will announced Trains as "Arriving" "Arrived" that are NOT even in the Station, in fact they sometimes are running an hour Late as happened last May to some of us waiting to go to WAS for NTD! Youd think in this Hi-Tec age that Amtrak could get it co-ordinated and modernized without excuses about "Dispatchers (Amtrk runs the NEC!!!) lack of funds/overwork for the IT Dept." etc. etc. Railroads used to pride themselves on their OTP when they used "Railroad Watches" and Written Train orders, its 2011 folks, time to join the 21st Century! :help:
