COMMUTE: Tue Nov 1, 2005; #642 and #175

My commute for Tuesday November 1, 2005.

Morning leg - I took Amtrak Train #642 (PHL-NYC):

• PHL 9:03, +19
  
• TRE 9:32, +22
  
• NWK 10:02, +20
• NYC 10:20, +20

Checked train status on amtrak.com before I left but said it was only 1 minute late. This train has been 15+ minutes late several morning trips in a row now. Conductor took my October monthly pass as fare for this train. Had an empty seat next to me, this train a little over half full by my estimation.

Evening leg - took Amtrak Train #175 (NYC-PHL):

• NYC 8:37, +2
  
• NWK 8:50, -2
  
• TRE 9:33, +3
• PHL 10:01, -9
  

Had empty seat next to me on this leg, train was much less than half full.
