Leonard says normally the train has too many cars to load all the passengers at once. But this year in didn't.Those left stranded were put on another train and will meet up with the chamber's chartered train in Philadelphia.

Apparently, according to the Star Ledger  -- who said 100 passengers were stranded -- the drop in attendance caused the Chamber to book 10 trains instead of 12.  As a result, the train only stopped once in Trenton, instead of the usual two.

Oops!

But the news isn't all bad.  Former Gov. Brendan Byrne told NJBIZ.com that "he was able to have an in-depth conversation about COAH with some legislators — something that would have been more difficult in past years."

“It’s a lot less chaotic,” Byrne said.

With 100 or 150 fewer passengers, we guess so.
