I'm not buying it. You people have had 150 years to work out how to make reliable switches! Use titanium if that's what it takes! Put in a heater! But no, you'd rather save a few bucks and turn arrival times into a crap shoot. Thanks a lot.
I worked rail in Alberta. Believe me, switches CAN malfunction... but on a near daily basis? Something doesn't pass the sniff test. I mean - we were heavy gauge rail on the mainline in -40 tems, and we STILL didn't get this amount of delay.
Cynic, I am. That seems like it is a preemptive way to say "You're screwed" this coming winter. They cannot get their act together with service, but they can make spiffy videos.

I didn't know delay was pronounced, 'Del...ah'
(It's like he gave up and couldn't be bothered to to pronounce the 'y')
