Expansion to double size of North Station by November(2006)

That's good to know!!! Now I will make sure I call the trains 8 mins before to get a human voice...

We'll appreciate it. I'm still trying to learn its dialect, but its still generally impossible to clearly understand what's being said over that automated system. Perhaps if the robo-nouncer could be changed to a voice with less bass in in, it might not sound so much like Charlie Brown's schoolteacher.

Its a good thing the displays are working well now.

Time for another round of..... WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE!!



I took this at North Station last night

I hate the voice...i want my human announcements back!

Amtrak train #689 at the top of the board is already at it's final destination?

The 1:25a train TO North Station was a running joke all night at the station.

I am guessing since that was taken last night, that the board was set up for today(a Sunday schedule) early before the regular weekday trains showed up automatically.

It'd been even more hilarious if it was scheduled to arrive on tracks 11 or 12

or 13 or some other track that doesn't exist like 99

The last two trains under Amtrak arrivals say Portland Maine as a destination

Wow, I took this photo two and a half years ago and I didn't notice that until you just pointed that out!

I have seen no post that the MBCR trains listed are all Sunday trains, while the times listed are for Thursday 11-27. What have I missed, beside Thursday, Friday and Saturday ???

I think they were running on a sunday schedule due to it being Thanksgiving? I forget.

You are right - it was to be the fourth Thursday of that November. Thanks.
