Did train traffic stop on 9-11? - Trains Magazine

Tree...don't pay any attention to posts which like to knit pick and be petty.  He knows what the original post asked.

Gee, I thought my question was pretty straightforward.  I realize the original poster was framing the questions in regard to 9/11.  But he asked if trains stopped moving and if hazardous movements were halted. 

The implication of a question about stopping trains carrying hazmat is that such trains would be stopped for security reasons, apparently in the belief that the threat of a terrorist attack would be higher on the anniversary of 9/11.  Certainly that implication was echoed in following posts. 

You said that all trains were stopped in NYC.  I suspect that this was not done for security reasons, but rather, to honor the moment. 

So I’ll just go with that assumption.
