    DC Union Station Lower Level Food Court Mystery Area

    Any chance you could visit and make a video on a phone with you walking around and showing how the disconnected area in the map above is arrived at?

    Crescent Bagdorm

    Brightline Trains Florida discussion 2025

    That is where the real money is from what I have read about the credit cards. Oddly enough it was my wife accepting a Spirit Airlines credit card that motivated me to get an Amtrak credit card and then my wife did as well. And we dumped the Spirit card.

    Amtrak Ridership Numbers 1971 to Present By State and Station

    I was going to make a spreadsheet just for NC stations and their ridership numbers but I found a site that had ridership numbers for every almost every station from 2005 to 2022. What I can't seem to find, and that is not surprising is ridership numbers for stations before 2005. A website in...

    I was more worried the original was not going to be of quality that when magnified to a reasonable level it would be legible. But the CTRL + - 0 is always worth reminding people.

    Interesting facts and notes in old railroad magazines

    May 1969 Trains celebrated the 100th Anniversary of the Golden Spike in Utah. The graphic may be reduced in size too much to read but interesting graphic about passenger train times from Chicago to San Francisco.
