Two whistles, conductors shouting "ALL ABOARD," and (from the chatter I heard) attendants running out and shouting at the people who might have missed both.The problem was, people had walked off; while the conductor had warned we "may be leaving earlier," some people only heard "we expect to be here until 3" and had left the station, gone into town, etc, and were nowhere nearby when we were given the signal to leave. We stopped at Stanley for about an hour, and we're still stuck less than 20 miles from Stanley now (5:30 PM, central time) so the people who got left had plenty of time to catch up at Stanley or meet us at Williston when we finally get there; I don't think the conductor will let anybody board here in Middle of Nowhere, ND though, despite the road that appears to run parallel to the track. |
