That the police don’t enforce front license plate laws in California anymore is really maddening when you also get into situations like this

If you want to learn more about Penn station, I'd recommend this @wtyppod.bsky.social video (watch at 1.5x - it's long) which dives more deeply into what it would take to have great train service. Which, after all, is why people go to Penn station.

What is the purpose of Penn station for people taking trains?

If there were more trains and greater frequency, the problems of overcrowding and aesthetics wouldn't be as big a of a problem. Imagine 10 minute headways (wait times). But that requires the solution at the very bottom of the article:

The salary for what is effectively the Mayor of Hong Kong is $675,000 USD, more than the salary for POTUS.

If you’re taking @caltrain.com north past Palo Alto station, you might want to avoid looking out the right side windows after you pass the Alma crossing, until you get closer to Menlo Park

Otherwise you may see the remnants (covered for now until they begin cleanup) of what caused tonight’s delay

The trains are running. Just very behind. I got home only 20 minutes later than usual.

Yeah, I was hoping this would be a simple injury free crash like last week there - Tesla with NJ plates. But unfortunately no.
