Original Text:
UNE STATION INFINIMENT TROP PROLONGÉE.
C'est étonnant! le convoi n'arrive pas!.. ordinairement il n'est en retard que de trois quarts d'heure, et aujourd'hui voilà une heure et demie que nous attendons!.. l'exactitude n'est pas la politesse des wagons!...


Translation:
AN ENDLESS WAITING TIME AT THE STATION.
It is astounding! Usually the train is only three quarters of an hour late, and today we have already waited an hour and a half.... punctuality isn't the virtue of the railways.
(Note: alteration of the proverb: Punctuality is the virtue of kings)
