Yes. It'll work fine...if the trains are on time and in their respective slots.

IF. h34r:

You're a funny guy.

For those of you wondering about Timetables.

Several timetables were posted with a March 4th effective date. Only the NYP-WAS schedule was posted for the NEC. Go figure.

Track work began in Newark Penn Station last week. 1 track will be out of service as the change the ties and rails in the station. They will also improve drainage and make platform repairs.

When 1 track is completed, I believe they are heading to 4 track.

As such, you will see something that doesn't occur that often: electric trains on 5 track.

Roger that. Good deal. During my trip to DC last week I noticed several different areas undergoing work. Between just outside of Wilmington and to Newark and the BWI area to just outside of New Carrollton. Although I took note of the bridge plates at Odenton. I got a good chuckle out of those.

I'm confused on the wording... is it only between NY and Boston? I noticed 193 leaves earlier starting next week, returning to the time it used to leave NYP.
