Train was late leaving Philadelphia when I arrived in New York my other train was boarding as I was getting off the train from Philadelphia. I barely made it for the train for Albany n.y when . When I go on a train for Albany and sat down 7 minutes it pulled out. I couldn't afford to miss that bus in Albany that was the last bus out.
