Did train traffic stop on 9-11? - Trains Magazine
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.henry6
Tree...don't pay any attention to posts which like to knit pick and be petty. He knows what the original post asked.
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.
