Amtrak Acela Leaves Passengers Behind At NYC Penn Station

[From article]
More than 650,000 passengers pass through Penn Station every day, making it by far the busiest in the U.S.
So when one Amtrak train bound for Washington pulled away from the station on Saturday at 3pm, it was somewhat of a surprise that it managed to forget all of its passengers.
The Acela Express 2253 departed as passengers were waiting at a completely different platform after being given the wrong information. The driver apparently left without getting permission from the station.

He added that when the passengers returned to the main level of the station, they were met by an Amtrak manager who explained the situation and then handed out bags of Doritos. They were also fed pizza.
Eventually, the majority of passengers jumped on to a train more than two hours later.
