Yes, looking into having service to Wilmington, NC from the Piedmont region would be nice. There are probably plenty of people living in the main population centers of NC who would want to take a train to the coastal communities. I don't know the right of ways too well that would connect Selma-Smit...

The L bus goes from Amtrak Hialeah over to Miami Beach. It's there, but the last run leaves pretty much before 97 arrives. So, useful as a connection it is not.

Same vendor as for the Downeaster? Details are sketchy.

You jest, of course!

A new endpoint, as would be their proposed port service to the cruise ships.

I've always thought their beverage service was quite good. I just ask the SCA for a bucket of ice for my roomette, and I take it from there.

Then the dopes are posting past realities that don't apply to the future ones they're announcing on the website. Dumb, just dumb.

The dining car will remain a sleeper only amenity when traditional meals return. Just like the Canadian, with coach passengers having "cafe counter service" and diner reserved for sleepers. Why, then, is Amtrak listing prices for each item in the dining car, if said items are included in ...

Looks like those occasional derailments in Lawrence yard are going to come to a grinding halt.

I realize that. Three trips a day to /from Bangor, at least during these days. But the trip requires two tickets, does it not? Amtrak Thruway services generally do not. So you buy into it, apparently. I am all for passenger rail service, but not just for the sake of having passenger rail. It seems t...

I don't think there's enough demand that would warrant sending trains further into Maine. Has anyone done some sort of a sondage to determine such? In a case, taking a page from California's playbook might be in order: set up a Thruway service to feed the train, one from Bangor via Augusta, another ...

Do you have a source for this info? On the Amtrak website, station services for Atlanta still show baggage service. But that's not necessarily the reality. Their IT folks seem not to be able to get some things right these days.

Great! Having used the old Lawrence station many times as a kid, I love the shot of trains coming thru it with the clock tower at the mill in the background. Was that Ballardvale where you shot trains on the other side of the pond?

What a bunch of double-speak, especially: "..equipment shortages that arose due to corona virus contingencies". Just say what those were--if there really WERE any. Totally disingenuous.

Nope.
