Had a chance to spend some time along the Hudson last weekend. Lots of great scenery, great weather, and great spots to relax and watch trains. Or so I though I would watch trains... I was trackside from 9:30-7:00 on Saturday (10/7) and only saw 3 freights go by (all southbounds... thought that was weird too), with two coming before noon. Most sources I've seen say there should be ~30 trains per 24 hours, so I was expecting to see maybe 8 or 9 total. I don't live nearby so it's hard for me to keep tabs on the line & anything that could be affecting traffic. Has anyone heard of any MoW work or any other reason the traffic was slow? Did I just pick a bad day? I was thinking of going back next weekend but if it's this slow I'm not sure it's worth the drive for me.
