Heading from NY Penn to Boston this past Sunday 11/20 we stopped in Stamford CT to take on a huge number of passengers. Every inch of floor space in the aisles and entry vestibules was taken up by standing or sitting passengers. The on board conductors said these passengers came off another easlier NE Regional that broke down 2 hours earlier.
We passed Sunnyside yard leaving NYC and there were a number of idle locomotives. I know locomotives are also usually sitting on side tracks in New Haven. My question is why would Amtrak strand passengers at a station awaiting a later train instead of an alternate locomotive?
