Across the street there is a fairly decent local chain restaurant called Glory Days Grill. You could probably have a good meal in there and then not be excessively hungry on board.

The long distance traditional dining current product is quite decent. Just need to extend it to more trains.

Any car assignment is subject to change when you buy way in advance for operational of business reasons - just like an airplane change can occur on a flight. Or they could pull a room out of circulation for training or crew or something. However what you are describing where they changed the...

97(21) is delayed due to people intentionally pushing boulders in front of the train in northern Maryland.

Equipment would mean 2030s would be the most likely earliest realistic for LD expansion. The new equipment will likely take till then to start showing up and expanded routes would likely be equipped through options.

One thing that didn’t help in this case also is both 91 and 92 had been hit by trespasser/vehicle strikes and were 5 hours late so things were already screwed up when the derailment occurred.

Correct - along with the sunset limited.

Probably no pilots available too. If memory serves isn’t there a significant chunk between Cary and Columbia that doesn’t see a lot of freight trains either. So CSX likely doesn’t have a very deep pool of crews to draw from either.

Withdrawing is not Amtrak’s choice to make. Its mission is to run passenger rail for people that want it - and pulling out would be a terrible move of bad faith with all the work the southern rail commission has done. Obviously if Mississippi and Mobile pull the funding then the game is over but...

Interesting way to restore east of Mobile. Definitely better than re-extending the Sunset.

I suspect the one who will eventually be withdrawn and replaced by a non NEC state pick is Robin Weissmann. Lathem comes from organized labor, which is a requirement for one seat on the board, and David Capozzi (who was the other previous not yet confirmed Biden pick) was a representative from a...

Amazing how low ours are and yet it’s a socialist marxist travesty according to Heritage and other similar ilk.

Subsidies serve a public function and it's unfortunate that in this country they're a dirty word.

LYNX just announced a new proposed route to begin in April that could be convenient for last mile connections for Brightline to all the major destinations. It will run every 30 minutes between the airport, Sand Lake Drive Sunrail, Florida Mall, Destination Parkway, Idrive/Convention Center, and...

I amended my previous post - I was under the impression that it was flex meals both ways but I found out I was mistaken on the westbound lunch part. I’d go with the previous post. I believe they are correct - you get a choice of cafe entree, a snack item, and a beverage. I was correct on the...

It’s normally a new Viewliner 2 right now but it can be subbed with an old. You are correct on the scenery west of Springfield - very underrated pretty ride - in my opinion the most scenic part of the route if traveling Boston - Chicago.

It’s easy to avoid the so called gate dragons from the lounge too. Once you know the track, just proceed to the elevators on the far end of the train hall near the ticketed waiting area - this is what the red caps do. Works every time and I often get down to the platform before it even gets on...

Maybe it’s so the equipment is more easily interchangeable at New York with other services.
