We have been sitting just outside of Jamaica for about 45 minutes now. Lots of police officers on the train to assist. We were told they are attempting to cut the last four cars and proceed East. If that fails, we will have a “rescue train”. pic.twitter.com/9zKWpNA4cB — Stephanie Tatton (@stephanietatton) November 23, 2019
