Someone please tell me WHY it is must be 30 degrees on the MARC train this AM? When it’s hot outside we often don’t have air conditioning. Now that it is turning cool… the air conditioning is on full blast and I feel like I’m inside of a refrigerator! Oh, and another thing… we NEVER leave Union Station on time. I mean NEVER. So, why is it that if I arrive at mu gate at 7:37 for a 7:40 they have taken the track information down? Oh, and don’t ask anyone in the train track area which MARC train is the 7:40! They work there everyday and see each train coming & going but nooooooooo they have no idea what track the 7:40 AM MARC train is on. Really? What the hell are you all doing all day sitting in your little carts with your hard hats on anyway? Come on… we all know that train isn’t pulling out of the station before 7:45. Tell me which track it’s on so I can get to work! Meanwhile, someone get me a blanket. It’s cold as a witches tit up in this camp!!! Bbbrrrrrr
