What did you do? Did you just walk back outside or did you wait for them to remove it?

I know they do that on the cafe/bc car during the power change at Albany on the Maple Leaf.
Since the cafe/BC vestibule is usually closed, I just reboard through the Amfleet I's rear vestibule and lift the barricade to get back into BC.
I ducked under it. A crew member on the platform yelled at me that the cafe was closed, and I told him I was just trying to get back to my sleeper. He was OK with that.
I didn't know you could do that!
Well, that one wasn't fastened down. You could just lift it up.
It's really annoying that when cafes are close they're just like nobody in here! Like.. let people use the tables please. And of course the first instinct was to yell instead of just.. tell.

Not sure what delayed these trains by so much time ... but look what finally showed up on the map
Trespasser hit in Fredericksburg yesterday afternoon. 53, 41, 97 all affected (41 was already more than 3 hours late out of Washington).
Seems to be a trespasser event every other day along the Floridian route, as frequent as someone hit by a train in the NYC subway, though they run thousands of trains per day.This is not unique to this route. Yesterday, VIA Rail had multi-hour delays due to this near Kingston, ON.

I think this may be the first time we had 3 Floridian #41 on the map at the same time ... making 5 Floridians total on the map together

Yes but the last 4 stations are still not showing on the train details page.

There are severe delays on the NEC this morning due to catenary issues near Newark. See if that impacts train 40's departure from DC awaiting NEC connections.
I would LOVe to have that view from my front porch. I have some friends who don't like the noise of being next to BNSF's line, but I would love it. I can hear the trains from my house, but can't see em.
