SHUT THIS DOWN: Surely there's a better way to run Amtrak Union Station operations than to have passengers queueing up 30, 45 minutes ahead of train departures, isn't there? At New York's Penn Station, they solve this by not announcing the departing train's gate until boarding time. Why must DC departers be subject to this nonsense?
