Once again, my wife was stuck on a northbound ![<7>]()
express that was held due to "train traffic ahead" outside the portal south of Main Street Station for at least 20 minutes (7:23PM to 7:43PM). During that time, four ![(7)]()
locals went by and entered the station. When her train was finally allowed to enter Main Street, there were no other trains in the station.
