the udder day when i was working, @ 3am i heard the amtrak train whistle. i knew it was the amtrak train, cause when you been on the train as much as i have, you can distinguish between whistles of the amtrak and the freight trains. kinda like when you hear a siren in the distance, you know if its a cop, or a fire engine, or an ambulance.

the thing was 3 hours LATE!!! i hope to christmas christ that when midnight the 18th comes about, that the train will not be that late!! but, amtrak being amtrak, i know the fucker is going to be late. its just a matter as to how long!

usually i wouldnt give a shit if it was 3 hours late, or 3 days late!! but, this amtrak trip is way different!!! i am actually going on the train to get somewheres and to serve a purpose!! see, i am supposed to arrive at san diego @ 5:30 am on the 20th; journal con starts the 21st. if the friggen amtrak gets to san diego anytime past 5:30 am, its cutting into my time and i wont like that. but, amtrak being amtrak, this is one of those situations where theres nuffing you can do.

most folks dont know this, but the main reason amtrak is always late is because they do not own 90% of the rails in this country. the freight train companies own the rails!! amtrak leases usage. which means that the freight trains have the right of way. so, amtrak is at the mercy of the freight train dispatcher. if he says stop. amtrak must stop.

heres hoping that this works out. one time, a freight derailed in arizona, and we stopped for 15 hours!! people was pissed!! i was laughing cause i didnt care!! but this time, if something like this happens, i will be amoung the people who will be pissed!!
