This seems like a Hollywood movie plot can be made of this somehow. Like "Cocaine Bear". That may bring more attention to the problem and possible solutions.

Was this Grand Junction Bridge ever considered as a way to 'connect' North and South Station for passenger use as far as Amtrak is concerned? I had never heard of it before, but I am not from around MA.

I think I miss the reference to this comment, is this all routes somehow? Or business class somewhere? Thanks.

I have never done this, but I have read enough out here to suggest calling in to book your tickets, the Amtrak Guest Rewards 800-307-5000 people may be the best place to call to try this, and have the floor plans handy to help request the room numbers you desire...

Interesting, a 15 Amp 250 Volt outlet. Would a coffee maker they could have used have a water supply too?

I am glad you are home safe from your trip, especially the Chicago adventure! I am curious from this statement it appears that British Airways is doing this because of that EU261 law that you all have over there, does the UK still follow it just because, or is there an equivalent UK law...

Will railforless.us now be able to scrape Google far easier to get Amtrak data? Will the need for railforless.us likely go away after Google gets done what it wants? I use Google Flights for commercial flight planning purposes.

From the Train Service Accounting Procedures:

I have a different opinion on the airport closures. It is actually quite common for them to come under threat for closure and redevelopment. The latest was 3 days ago...

For those of us including me with no knowledge of what a Sleepy Hollow seat is ( the thought of headless visually flashed but has been extinguished) :D http://streamlinermemories.info/Eastern/LifeSleepyHollow.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heywood-Wakefield_Company

Non-Amtrak, but my wife and I were on a tourist "Dinner Train" some years ago. The dinner train was catered by a local grocery store, and may not have had completely railroad savvy servers/kitchen help? The plates and glasses were all cafe style heavy permanent tableware. After the tables...

I wonder if the salt treatment would accelerate the corrosion of the steel rails and attaching hardware? Interesting.

Are your gentlemanly ways preventing you from telling us more about this story after you gave out too much information (which I assume accidentally included your sleeper room number) ? ;)

Yesterday, 09-04-24, I have a video from today, but not sure if I can upload video here or not yet... Dispatcher did ask about PTC on the radio, 4014 answered with Lea:

Yes, I see, too tight for 6'6". It would almost have to be backed down to 6' or less for 3 levels I suppose.

I did some searching without good hits, but could a RM type car be designed with triple levels and actually be usable? How low can a coach ceiling be and still be usable? Is there overall space vertically for 3 floors from the tracks to the roof of an RM type car? Hmm.

A surviving sample is in the Illinois Railway Museum, this photo is from a visit 3 years ago:

"The French Gratitude Train (French: Train de la Reconnaissance française), commonly referred to as the Merci Train, were 49 World War I era "forty and eight" boxcars gifted to the United States by France in response to the 1947 U.S. Friendship Train. It arrived in Weehawken, New Jersey on...

A visit to the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History recently (I didn't see a thread in this category, although there are side mentions of this museum in other posts). The "General", famous for The Great Locomotive Chase: French train car given to the USA as a Thank You present...
