Too late: Danish built IC3 Flexliner rolling through Sturtevant, WI in 1997.

There are several reports on various Internet sites that Amtrak has recently rearranged some if not all Western Long Distance Trains similarly to the Eastern ones where the coaches have been moved upfront and the sleepers to the rear. There are transition dorms on the rear but unlike Eastern...

Tried to book a train from Florida to Boston this week. NO SERVICE AVAILABLE! Are you serious? You cannot get from Florida to Boston by Amtrak right now? This is unbelievable.

Amtrak just made an agreement with CP to run trains between Detroit and Windsor through the Detroit River Tunnel. So a new overnight express train could run through Canada over the Wolverine and Empire Service routes which would allow higher speeds and less congestion than running south of Lake...

Don't know if this was posted anywhere but this is a very good three part series on the new Siemen's ALC-42 Chargers:

Amtrak is relaunching its USA Rail Pass by offering the 10-ride pass for $299 through June 22, a savings of $200 over the regular price. The electronic pass allows up to 10 segments of coach travel in a 30-day period; trips involving a connection will count for two segments, and upgrades to...

I couldn't believe the condition of the Amtrak station in this video at 23 minutes in. Seriously Amtrak? How embarrassing . . . and maybe even dangerous. Is there another station worse than this?

(Originally posted elsewhere and revised here) Okay it's just an idea but what if Amtrak tries this? Start here: Take one popular train like the Silver Meteor. Run it through to Boston in a Regional slot to generate some good major city press about this unique new opportunity to ride in a real...

Anyone get this survey email "from" Amtrak Guest Rewards? I thought it was going to be an Amtrak survey and was going to be Amtrak travel related but it seems like a third party just digging for info that I wasn't going to provide.

Amtrak seems adamant about striving to have one food service car for an entire LD train. That idea, at least on the eastern low-level equipped consists, seems unrealistic. Maybe they think people will be satisfied taking their food back to their seats but they will really kill the pleasure of...

I know there are many of you who have complained about the coffin-like claustrophobic feeling of the upper bed in the Superliner roomette. I have ridden in Viewliner roomettes quite a bit lately but I haven't ridden in a Superliner in years so I don't recall the experience. I was wondering if...

Now this is dedication:

President Donald Trump said late Friday that he expected to issue a permit for a rail line connecting Alaska and Canada, citing the influence of two members of Alaska’s congressional delegation on his decision. “Based on the strong recommendation of @SenDanSullivan and @repdonyoung of the Great...

Did Amtrak remove the sleeper car diagrams and room/bed dimensions from their website? Can't seem to find them anymore.

Effective October 1, 2020, Express shipping service on Amtrak’s regularly scheduled passenger trains will be suspended until further notice. The last date for accepting these shipments will be September 15, 2020, which will ensure all shipments will reach their final destinations before October 1st.

Can we try some new ideas to restructure Amtrak? Is there some way to radically change the paradigm? How about a new and improved "Material Handling" concept? Create a high-speed express freight network and combine that train with an Amtrak train. Yes a modern "Mixed Train". Maybe lanes...

Hey Amtrak, how about putting the schedules back up at least for the trains that are operating as usual? It's time. There is no reason this can't be done.

Dear Mr. Anderson, Before you go please initiate a Delta One Suite program on Amtrak. We need this. I will not sleep next to a stranger on a train ever again. Thank you.
