Are they really talking about running diesel under wires or dragging a diesel around on every single electric train, save Acela?

Are they really talking about running diesel under wires or dragging a diesel around on every single electric train, save Acela?
there needs to be some kind of penalty for bad behavior. They could implement a system where the conductor scans the ticket, they get a "black mark" and a stern form letter. After a second black mark someone actually looks into the situation. Third black mark gets the ban hammer. Can we i...
It’s bizarre to me to read folks arguing against this. No one likes a smaller seat, but it’s accessibility. A minor reduction in personal comfort is more important than others’ ability to move about the train at all?
Of Boston's remaining trolley lines, only the central subway and D Line have signal systems installed; the signals on the B, C and E lines are solely for controlling traffic through the intersections those lines pass through, and provide no indication of track occupancy. I assume that "remaini...
Well, they are not. Bus stops are certainly closer together than Lyndhurst and Kingsland are. I'm not advocating for two close together stations necessarily, I'm saying that when you're on foot and you're connecting, this matters. The 76 has a lot of other connections to deal with. It's not possible...
I very frequently come across this on the Coast Line, specifically that regardless of where the bathroom is, it may be in a closed car. This should honestly never be the case, but it beats the time that I was told there was no working restroom when I needed to use one and was traveling Long Branch t...
Are we talking about the same station? The current station is nowhere near Route 17 and has no parking attached to it. The new station will be adjacent to a park-and-ride, sandwiched between a bunch of commercial buildings, and about 1500 feet from the Kingsland station. It's a 5-minute walk from K...
Guess time will tell whether this new amnesty for political posts only applies to posts decrying open borders or whether all Amtrak adjacent political options are in play. I guess it only makes sense, as Amtrak itself is governed by politics.
Hi there,
Came across this image on the web. Any idea where the photo was taken?
Where do the lines connect to get those cars over there?
I mentioned the control console that operated this board and wondered if that was included as part of this exhibit. If the board was donated to RM of PA and was Museum property there perhaps could be an option to use this board to show how it operated when it was in service. This static display wil...
This is such a horrible solution. I do not want to be forced to basically sit in my seat for a 24 hour train ride. Then make sure to book a Roomette. For the fares that Amtrak charges they already provide too much. Coach really isn't supposed to be comfortable for anything more than 18 hours (and t...
But hasn't NJT used ACSES on the NEC for years, or is that not right?
Again, I think they were really honest about the fact that things were very bad. I'm not sure what folks are talking about on that score.
