OK, so I've spending a little time, maybe two much time, watching a couple live railcams and have a question about the Valley Flyer moves. Last night, May 16, Valley Flyer 494, led by Amtrak 99, left Springfield at 9:15 p.m., and crossed the diamond at 9:22 pm. The trip to Greenfield is an 1:08 minutes, but loco 99 returned to Springfield at 10:35 p.m.
The train status shows an actual arrival in Northampton at 9:49, 9 minutes early, but no actual arrival time for Greenfield. I assume the train had no passengers north of Northampton and so turned around and headed back to base. Is that right? How often does that happen? Do the trains often arrive at Northampton empty too?
