Upon Arrival @ the Austin Amtrak Station this Morning (3/21) to catch #22 on a Double Points Run to/from TPL the Following LE Convention was Observed on the Station Platform: 12 LE Types (HLS/TSA/APD), and 4 Drug/Bomb Dogs!!! Sure seems like Overkill for a Fairly Small Station!!
Due to a Freight Train/Motorcycle Collision in SMC, # 22 was 2 Hours Late into Austin so the LE Types ( 4 of which were "Supervisors")Smoked Cigs, Drank Coffee, let the Dogs Walk Up and Down the Platform! After 1 Hour of Waiting, they All Loaded Up and Headed out, must have been Time for a Coffee Break!! :giggle:
The Station Agent told me that this has started Happening about Once a Week for the Past Month in Austin and so far Nothing has been Found or Happened! Reno 911 in Austin???
