although i was not on a stranded train, i was on a diesel train which departed stamford at 2:51pm EST last friday.  i had to take an early train because i had an event to go to that evening.  well, we had been driving very slowly and then stopped in south norwalk for over 45 minutes.  the conductors finally told us that wires were down and people were stranded.  it seems we had to weave our way thru this mess since we didn&#039;t need the overhead wires to continue (we were a diesel train).  we kept going slow, skipped stations altogether, and finally arrived in bridgeport at 4:45pm EST.  angy, sweaty, passengers were waiting for our train for over 2 hours! it seems we were the first train out of the mess.  i finally got to the milford platform at 5:07pm EST. so much for getting home early.

oh, and the cherry on top... there were delays again this morning for train derailment.  when will this ever stop?!?!
