December is an anomaly. We had an array of trouble. We had contractor problems, where contractors weren't able to clear the tracks in time for rush hour.

That affected all the lines because of slower boarding and congestions. We had trains stacked.

Andrew H. Malcolm

This is a very minor change. The trains have been getting to the intermediate stations a little bit late.

Nancy Floreen

Trains can't suddenly climb hills just because they're small.

Paul Busse

A genius is the man in whom you are least likely to find the power of attending to anything insipid or distasteful in itself.

William James

Dr. Stephen Kaifa

None of the big players want to be left out of the game. They?re here to figure it out because they know there?s a business model in there to be had whether it?s advertising based or whatever it is, and they all want to be in the game. This is the big battle ground. This is going to be trains colliding.

John Musser

The trains were full, and fare inspectors were doing their job.

Morgan Lyons

Jesse Cormier

You will save time and aggravation waiting in ticket lines, leaving you extra opportunities to relax and see the sights. In fact, for some trains, seat reservations are required. Make sure not to skip this very important step, unless you don't mind standing.

Mike Fuller

It's like two freight trains coming together for the first time in the season and we're going to have to see how things settle out. They've got a great team and we have a great team. Everybody in the county was probably hoping that we would be undefeated going into that game. It's going to happen.

Dave Breon

It's not a great idea to rent a car, ... They drive a lot differently. Taxies are cheap and the trains are really comfortable. If you take a train in the peak season, you may want to think about getting tickets in advance. There is assigned seating.

Dave Klein

He's got one of those goals that's way higher than high school. He's so focused on making it to the Olympics. He's one of those rare kids that only come around so often. I absolutely believe he'll make it to that level. That's everything that he works for. That's the way he works out. He never trains for second place.

Ike Turner

The expectation is there will be a huge flood of trains, and that is not going to happen.

Paul Scheuring

But Paul doesn't think it would be wise or necessary to make enormous changes in the structure of the campaign. We have finally, after six or seven weeks, built a strong campaign team, ... What Paul intends to do is wrap his arms around the budget and make sure the trains are running on time here. That's what he's expert at.

Matt Bennett

Roger Johnson

At the moment, we queue with passenger trains. It takes about 48 hours to get from Mumbai to Delhi, a distance of 1,400 kilometers...This should come down to about 16 hours.

Kapil Anand

The survey findings are sobering, even if we adjust for the fact that public concerns may have been heightened following the London subway bombings.

Tom Stinson

I heard the train whistle, and right behind the whistle I heard the crash. I didn't really believe there was a crash out here because trains go by quite frequently, and we hear noises.

George Frye

We have slowed trains down through the area.

Meg Scheu

William Godwin

Production slowed down, so we slowed down the running of trains, too. It was not necessarily an issue of trains available but having the coal available to put into the trains.

James Barnes

They (fans) respond mostly to what WWE trains them to respond to. An ankle lock gets over because Kurt Angle does the ankle lock and everyone submits to it. A triangle by Undertaker doesn't get over because WWE has never trained the fans to accept that as a finish because no one ever taps to it. And it was the same thing when Shamrock was in WWE.

Bryan Alvarez

I was told by Steve Tobias, the chief operating officer, that one day recently they had no trains being held between Philadelphia and Chicago. That's the first time that's happened since June 1, ... The only thing we have to worry about right now is weather. If the snow doesn't come early, this thing could be humming in few weeks.

Michael Lloyd

If the workers took a notion they could stop all speeding trains; every ship upon the ocean they can tie with mighty chains.

Joe Hill

One of the great things about what Dennis George (trainer) does, is that the dogs he trains and places all come from local shelters and pounds.

Chris Scanlen

When the trains come through, you're trapped. We've now secured the money (for flyover ramps in Duquesne and McKeesport).

Mike Doyle

We have listened keenly to our customers and refined the cars to boost our competitiveness on both sides of the Atlantic.

Fredrik Arp

If you can tolerate it, the trains generally will.

Paul Busse

People have told us in letters and phone calls that they have to jog from Lincoln Center to make their train. We hear plenty of tales of missed trains.

Marjorie Anders

It's part of our history. As far as I know, we don't have anything on site showing the rails in Ellicott City. We have a lot on trains, but this is a trolley.

Barry Gibson

They had a private train car to go to Colorado for their honeymoon. They stayed a little long at their reception. Of course, trains don't wait. The train took off -- and Wood and Wagner got in a car and started chasing the train through Phoenix.

Mike Doherty

The train will be the focal point of the whole mural, since that's how Texarkana got settled and eventually grew. Trains brought people and products here.

Amy Braswell

A lot of people sleep on the trains in the cold weather. It's a survival tactic, so it's a concern when the trains are shut down.

Patrick Markee

There have always been three trains moving simultaneously down the track -- negotiations for a transfer, litigation and law enforcement. We are no longer in the engineer's seat on the negotiation train. We're just passengers.

Carole Florman

In the past, we had to provide more and longer trains for that key period of time. Now, any train going to the city can drop people off for the speeches.

Jeff Dean

These road trains are fine for the Australian outback but have no place on Britain's country lanes and town centres.

Stephen Joseph

People eat all the time on the trains and they don't get caught. It just doesn't seem fair.

Christina Johnson

Such 'bullet trains' operate regularly in countries throughout Europe and Asia, ... It's time for New York to get on board.

Joseph Bruno

The danger isn't the crossing. The crossing is as safe as you can make it. The danger here continues to be that the trains are traveling within 35 feet of our (school) playground. With hazardous materials, and if there were a derailment, it could kill the whole population of the school.

Brian Bruns

This is what she trains for. She's excited to go.

David Wagner

There are 1,600 to 1,700 trains a day passing through the six counties. They are primarily along Metra lines, which have 700 trains on a daily basis.

Steve Laffey

The trains were withdrawn from service because of concerns about their safe operation.

Bill Watson

Quite a lot of their rolling stock got destroyed. They have a lot of trains sitting there which are beyond repair.

Lamar Hunt

What triggered it was the attack against the trains in the Madrid suburbs.

Francois Heisbourg

As well as providing a more appropriate and reliable service than the loco-hauled trains that have recently worked the route, [the trains] will benefit from a refurbishment over the next 12 months to increase the number of seats and provide a more comfortable environment.

Donald Anderson

That's just Mike. I'd buy some of those arms if I could. Mike is ready to go. He trains himself very well in the off-season. Mentally, he came in with the attitude that he just wants to do whatever it takes to win. He's a workhorse. That's his only thing. He knows how to work.

Art Valero

This isn't the kind of job where you're a specialist who watches a computer screen and pushes buttons. Our workers are thinking, creative, constantly communicating. They're specialists in diversity. That's not really what our culture trains young people for these days.

Evelyn Thompson

The whole building shook when the coal trains came by. We clutched each other and said, 'We've got to find people who love trains.' And we did.

Ellise Clark
