Got up at 3:30 to drive over an hour to get a family member from the train but I guess it's 1.5hrs late. I could have slept in

Reminds me of a song by David Allan Coe (RIP)....
Well, I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison
And I went to pick her up in the rain
But before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
She got run over by a damned old train

The stupid website says they're "on time" when that's a big fat LIE
BealtaineGoat I was on a train that was two and a half hours late once, but they lied and said the delay was "only" an hour and 50 minutes so they didn't have to pay compensation.
I've never been on a train before. After 20 years they just restarted the Amtrak "Mardi Gras Express" train that runs back and forth between Mobile, AL and New Orleans.....and my GF has been hinting that she'd like to try it.
It's 4 hours one way, so an 8 hour round trip. My only problem is that I hate Mobile.....and I hate New Orleans.....and I'm not fond of trains, either.

I had a friend from Mobile and she said it's a shithole
LOL. If you're talking about the rotten egg/sulfur smell, I believe that comes from a couple of paper mills just west of the city.
@ArmadilloRancher @Eiregoat @madison that would be about it. What shitstain. "Home of Mardi Gras my ass"
My sister in in Alabama but the train here would be like 3 days to me
