saw a sign on the electronic billboard that the manassas train to union station delayed at least an hour. the first train was expected at 5:15. our last announcement we just heard was another ten minutes. but listen, this is going to be a delay that's really going to tie things up much longer than that because you can actually see where this freight train about a mile down -- [ no audio ]

want to try and get this resolved and find these victims if they are in these ruins as quickly as possible to at least give some closure to these families but at the end of the day this is still a crime scene because there are fatalities here and until they can discover what their cause of death was, we don't know if there was any foul play and they can't give these families any conclusions.

waiting patiently for some time as opposed to driving or metroing into d.c. saying it boils down to communication because he believes that perhaps vre wasn't told of the situation immediately and that is perhaps why the information came down, so late to a lot of these customers. it was nearly 5:30, about two hours or so after the incident until folks here at manassas park were told there was a delay. of course now the platform beginning to clear as folks are getting this latest information that vre is not certain when this will clear up and when they can get their train running again. the
