What was that again?

Listening is truly an art.  And on the metro, it can be a real challenge.  Just like every transportation depot in the U.S., there is a public announcement (PA) system.  Now imagine yourself patiently waiting for your train in Union station, along with countless other commuters and you hear this on the PA:

Atenseeownemtrechpasegeers!  Wee invaight yu toburd zienurthbund treintoo New York.  Pliz urry up ore we leeveyu. Giteftrektwintieat.  Gud day!  

What the hell was that?  The message is repeated again, and I still don’t get it.  Then I see all these people rushing to the gates and I panic and go along with the masses.  Holy s--t!  I think it was something about New York for sure, and I’m totally freaked out I’ll miss my train.  The announcer had a really bad French accent, or at least I think he/she sounds French!  There’s a flurry of excitement near the trains.  I get a hold of a person and swallow my pride by asking what the PA announcement was.  The seasoned Amtrak rider doesn’t even blink and tells me the northbound train to New York was boarding.  Gate F, Track 28.
