      If I had to name one thing which encapsulates how hopeless the American passenger rail industry is, it would probably be that they have no idea what platform a *regularly scheduled service* will stop on until it's literally pulling into the station

      Nothing like staring at the departure board in South Station for a train which you already know the time and destination of but which just says "TBD" for the platform number

      On this note--part of the problem is that we divorce waiting areas from platforms here, which means that all that platform space is empty 99% of the time, only briefly filling with people when a train boards or unloads.

      Go to Japan and you will generally find that the platform IS the waiting area, which is fine because the same trains with the same destinations use the same platforms every day. Not complicated!

          Japan is like another more efficient world that somehow has a rail system owned by multiple companies and yet operates more smoothly than anything stateside.

          I dunno, this happens in Munich too. But its up like 30 mins before arrival.

          (Not *certain,* but pretty sure Munich HBF is where I've waited to see what track my train was going to arrive on.)

          What about a place like Penn Station where I assume they are trying to keep people waiting for the next train off the platform while another train is boarding or unloading?

          Seems to me like what you're describing is a dynamic cargo system(America) versus a static cargo system(japan)
