Can we get back to the facts please? I have to ask, what does the conductors personal life have to do with this accident? Unless if he was severely ill, and the NTSB and other authorities prove a connection, let's stick to the facts. Amtrak engineers and conductors do a good job...and I will continu...

Might make more sense to put in some sort of cross honoring agreement to expand Amtraks reach via commuter rail.

In the past, when I have taken the train through this segment, I have always observed the train slowing down (perceptually at least.) So I am surprised to hear that the speed was higher than normal.

My wife and I are considering taking the auto-train down to Florida this year. Can anyone share their experiences?

1. Catastrophic infrastructure failure will hit the NEC and tunnels appropriately 2. Cutoff gets advanced, then cut, then advanced, then cut, then advanced again. 3. No other projects get advanced, despite overwhelming support for them. 4. Private companies start popping up to fill the void of said ...

I know a lot of you are going to argue about this one, but in the end, 25,000 signatures will get a response from the White House, which is a step in the right direction: Sign the whitehouse petition to restore passenger rail service on the NYS&W. Rather than argue the fundamentals of the pro's ...
