In case you didn't know, NJT is substituting trains with buses between Dunellen and Westfield this weekend to replace a bridge at Plainfield. I went railfanning at Bound Brook to see these trains on a modified schedule and some idiot comes and starts cursing at the conductor because he had "waited 40 minutes for a train to Newark", on camera The conductor explained to him that they were substituting buses and that the information was on the website. The customer responds with something like "I checked on all the websites and nothing was there" and proceeds to curse at the conductor and kick a bottle. He ended up not taking the train and wasting the money he paid (that is, if he bought a ticket) and the train left without him.
Also in the video is a deadhead that happens to be running with the wrong lights! The engineer switches the correct lights on a second after I start recording.
