Every day I read about problems on New Jersey Transit and am grateful that I no longer have to ride that railroad. Some of the issues are caused by mismanagement while others are the result of a crumbling infrastructure. There was a major delay this morning on the Montclair-Boonton line caused by a trespasser fatality. I can't blame the agency for this, but I wonder if this and similar incidents are suicides.
I still get emails from the MTA about problems on the #7 subway line. Every day there are signal problems. Maybe in my lifetime, the antiquated signaling system will be updated. In the past year, I only encountered one major delay as the train was delayed for about 15 minutes getting out of the Flushing station. I still ride the subway, but not nearly as often as I did while I was working.
I just completed a project for SABR's Baseball Index where I indexed about 1000 articles from the Games Project. I will take a break for a few days and then index about 200 more article that was done over the last 3 months.
Tonight I am going to a meeting of the New York Giants Preservation Society at Finnerty's in Manhattan. I'll report on this tomorrow.
