I was on a train that was delayed for more than 4 hours. At a stop along the way, the lady sitting next to me asked the conductor if the Amtrak connecting bus would wait for the train. The conductor said that bus had to wait because we were the ONLY train connecting to it. He said 4 passengers from the train were going on that bus.
We pulled into the station 4 hours and 27 minutes behind the schedule. I had no idea what happened to the lady and I sure hope the bus really waited for her and the other three people. I remember her saying the ride on the connecting bus was about 3 hours from the Amtrak station.
I've been on this train before and even experienced a 7-hour delay, thanks to the geniuses at CSX, which owned or operated the freight rail line that Amtrak trains used.
I really can't picture the bus driver waiting 4 to 7 hours for a delayed train... even if they are being paid overtime for it. What happens if the bus is not there when the passengers get off the train?
