I’m fully supportive of brake tests

So I was sitting at the front of the train last night and heard the driver when he first got on, call train control and say that no one had performed a brake test and that they needed to do it before they could depart. Fair enough I say, working brakes sound like a pretty good thing to me.

But….  that meant we were two minutes late departing which translated into eight minutes late arriving.

Date AM/PM Depart Arrive Time Late Late?
