That's how I discovered the English spelling of the station's name.

A: This word is only used in past tense because the reason why the train is late has already passed. The train WAS delayed once or twice - and now it's in a continual state of being late (遅れている).

I was delayed. v. You are making me late! ("You are delaying me") someone is continually holding you back from leaving the house - the interfering acts haven't ended yet.
Simply not a common reason for anyone to say in the present, to be continually interfered with. Focus is on the interfering act itself.

Delayed is a word typically used for clocks, trains, other non living things. This is another reason why it tends to be passive, because the verb "delay" exists to describe an external reason causing something (or rarely, someone) else to be late.

You won't typically encounter this word unless discussing machinery. Otherwise people simply say "I was late leaving the house" "I'm running late" "I will be late if you don't let me leave right now" Or if someone does not want to admit it could be their own fault..."Sorry gentlemen, I was delayed. Shall we start the budget meeting?"

A: You could also say “I fell asleep while riding the train.” 🙂
